at least to me.
I don't recall ever having seen one like this before.
It's ~5 inches tall.
Neat find. I'm not a mushroom connoisseur however I doubt that I would eat any mushroom that had a black cap.

In any given year, I see one I know - and hundreds of potentially lethal ones I don't
Never seen that one before. Maybe not fully developed yet?
I have never seen one like this one. Did it taste good!? and is your will up to date. I only eat mushrooms packaged in the supermarket... or pickled in a bottle.
Mushrooms immediately make me recall Beguiled and excellent Clint Eastwood movie. The ladies at the proper southern girls' school rid themselves of a Yankee Soldier ... the last meal was a special mushroom gravy made just for him... yep ... the next scene was the burial.

It was fully developed as far as I could see. There was a cluster of smaller but similar ones next to it.
The all wilted away during the day.
My first guess would be an inky cap (it's ben a long time since my mycology class). The cap "melts" as it sheds its spores.
