Glamorous Mushroom

Spotted this rather glamorous looking but solitary mushroom in Howard’s Wood this morning. Apparently it’s a Shaggy Mane Ink Cap and it seemed to be in great condition before it starts to degenerate and secrete a spore carrying black liquid (euch!). Wiki tells me it’s edible but not to be confused with the poisonous Magpie Inkcap.
