Shaggy ink cap. A type of fungus which is edible when young. The cap overhangs so that, rather than the more common round cap, the shaggy ink cap has an elongated ovoid shape. It has shaggy scales which, when young, are white but which become darker with age. As it ages it becomes quite unpleasant to eat and eventually dissolves into a puddle of black liquid, giving it its English name.
Scaly tooth mushroom or tiled hydnum, an edible fungus with a slightly bitter aftertaste.
Melted butter. Butter mixed with a small amount of stock or wine, boiled, sieved and served with fish.
Horse mushroom. Edible, and very delicious, but easily mistaken for other less palatable or even poisonous mushrooms.
