Perfectly OK to drink alcohol with *SHAGGY* ink caps. Just don't try it
with the common ink cap, Coprinus atramantarius.

Very difficult to confuse C altramantarius with the shaggy ink cap, the
former being smooth, brownish and much fatter.

I have seen it reported in reliable places that a small proportion
of people react to the combination of alcohol and shaggy caps.
Yes, the other one is notorious, and was the original source of
Antabuse.

I have never seen that reported, and none of the books I have mentions
even the suspicion.

Yes to that last, but one wonders if the symptoms aren't worse than the
alcohol abuse!
