Hi all. I am pretty new to mushrooming and just want to verify that this is indeed a Shaggy Mane. As can be seen in pics is is quite inky as it deteriorates, but it is growing on a log which is what has me perplexed. I didn't think shaggy mane grows on logs...

Thanks a million!

Not Shaggy Mane. I believe they are Scaly Inky Cap (Coprinus variegatus). Shaggy mane is a fall mushroom.

I've found them in Summer as well, but I agree, not shaggy mane. Just google image shaggy mane, and you will see what they look like.

Those are scaly ink caps, Coprinopsis variegata. Toxic.
