Coprinus micaceus growing at the base of an old elm stump. This is the common ink cap, and itself is edible (in my mountain man days I occasionally fried up a batch, but it has kind of a funny aftertaste, and apparently occasionally has a toxic reaction with alcohol, which was a little chancey with me in my younger days; besides, if you didn't eat them right away they turned into an unappetizing black blob).

A tip:
When you go out for morels, use a mesh or string bag to carry them in, allowing the seed/spore to drop to the ground and potentially start new colonies.
