Coprinus Spadiceisporus
''Coprinus'' is a small genus of mushroom-forming fungi consisting of ''Coprinus comatus''the shaggy ink cap (British English, British) or shaggy mane (American English, American)and several of its close relatives. Until 2001, ''Coprinus'' was a large genus consisting of all agaric species in which the lamella (mycology), lamellae autodigested to release their spores. The black ink-like liquid this creates gave these species their common name "ink cap" (British English, British) or "inky cap" (American English, American). Molecular phylogeny, Molecular phylogenetic investigation found that ''Coprinus comatus'' was only a distant relative of the other members of ''Coprinus'', and was closer to genera in the Agaricaceae. Since ''Coprinus comatus'' is the type species of ''Coprinus'', only that species and its close relatives ''C. sterquilinus'' and ''C. spadiceisporus'' retained the name of the genus. The majority of species of ''Coprinus'' were therefore reclassified into three g ...

Common Name
In biology, a common name of a taxon or organism (also known as a vernacular name, English name, colloquial name, country name, popular name, or farmer's name) is a name that is based on the normal language of everyday life; and is often contrasted with the scientific name for the same organism, which is Latinized. A common name is sometimes frequently used, but that is not always the case. In chemistry, IUPAC defines a common name as one that, although it unambiguously defines a chemical, does not follow the current systematic naming convention, such as acetone, systematically 2-propanone, while a vernacular name describes one used in a lab, trade or industry that does not unambiguously describe a single chemical, such as copper sulfate, which may refer to either copper(I) sulfate or copper(II) sulfate. Sometimes common names are created by authorities on one particular subject, in an attempt to make it possible for members of the general public (including such interested par ...

Parasola Plicatilis
''Parasola plicatilis'' is a small saprotrophic mushroom with a plicate cap (diameter up to 35 mm). It is a widely distributed species in Europe and North America. This ink cap species is a decomposer which can be found in grassy areas, alone, scattered or in small groups. The fruiting bodies grow at night after rain, and will self decompose after spore dispersion is achieved. Otherwise, they are quickly dried up in morning sunlight, or will eventually collapse beneath the weight of their caps. Though nonpoisonous, the species is inedible. The overall body resembles a cocktail umbrella. The cap is papery, and the species has no veil A veil is an article of clothing or hanging cloth that is intended to cover some part of the head or face, or an object of some significance. Veiling has a long history in European, Asian, and African societies. The practice has been prominent .... Two similar species, ''P. hemerobia'' and ''P. leiocephala'', have similar microscopic feat ...

Coprinellus Micaceus
''Coprinellus micaceus'' is a common species of mushroom-forming fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae with a cosmopolitan distribution. The fruit bodies of the saprobe typically grow in clusters on or near rotting hardwood tree stumps or underground tree roots. Depending on their stage of development, the tawny-brown mushroom caps may range in shape from oval to bell-shaped to convex, and reach diameters up to . The caps, marked with fine radial or linear grooves that extend nearly to the center, rest atop whitish stipes up to long. In young specimens, the entire cap surface is coated with a fine layer of reflective mica-like cells that provide the inspiration for both the mushroom's species name and the common names mica cap, shiny cap, and glistening inky cap. Although small and with thin flesh, the mushrooms are usually bountiful, as they typically grow in dense clusters. A few hours after collection, the gills will begin to slowly dissolve into a black, inky, spore-laden ...

Coprinopsis Atramentaria
''Coprinopsis atramentaria'', commonly known as the common ink cap or inky cap, is an edible (although poisonous when combined with alcohol) mushroom found in Europe and North America. Previously known as ''Coprinus atramentarius'', it is the second best known ink cap and previous member of the genus ''Coprinus'' after '' C. comatus''. It is a widespread and common fungus found throughout the northern hemisphere. Clumps of mushrooms arise after rain from spring to autumn, commonly in urban and disturbed habitats such as vacant lots and lawns, as well as grassy areas. The grey-brown cap is initially bell-shaped before opening, after which it flattens and disintegrates. The flesh is thin and the taste mild. It can be eaten, but due to the presence of coprine within the mushroom, it is poisonous when consumed with alcohol, as it heightens the body's sensitivity to ethanol in a similar manner to the anti-alcoholism drug disulfiram. For this reason, the ink cap has an additio ...

Coprinus Sterquilinus
''Coprinus sterquilinus'', the midden ink cap, is a species of fungus in the family Agaricaceae. It grows on animal dung and occurs in Europe, Asia and America. Description ''C. sterquilinus'' has an ellipsoid or ovoid cap, some by when closed, becoming conical and then flattening out to a width of . It is white, flocculous and fibrillose when young, becoming more scaly with a creamy centre as it matures. There are more than fifty gills, white at first, turning to grey and then black. The stipe or stem is slender, tall, with a moveable ring just above the slightly bulbous base. The spores are ellipsoid and very large at 17–26 by 10–15 µm, very dark reddish-brown to black. Distribution and habitat The species has an extensive range in Europe, Asia and America, but is uncommon. It grows in dung and on manure heaps, particularly on horse manure. Biology ''Coprinus sterquilinus'' is closely related to the shaggy ink cap (''Coprinus comatus''). Both share the character ...

Coprinus Calyptratus
''Coprinus calyptratus'' is a species of fungus in the family Agaricaceae. It is commonly known as the Star-capped Coprinus. Taxonomy ''Coprinus calyptratus'' was classified by the American mycologist Charles Horton Peck in 1895. Description ''C. calyptratus'' is a small inkcap mushroom with white flesh and a distinctive star shaped veil remnant on the cap. Cap: 4-6cm. Starts egg shaped and covered in a veil before expanding to become campanulate which may flatten or curl upwards with age. Gills: Free and crowded soon turning black. Stem: 5-15cm tall. 0.5-1cm in thickness. Lacks a ring and roots in the ground ending in a small basal bulb. Spores: Subellipsoid or subovoid with a large pore. 17-20 x 10-12 µm. Taste: Indistinct. Smell: Indistinct. Etymology ''Coprinus'' is derived from the Greek kóprinos meaning full of dung. ''Calyptratus'' derives from the Latin calyptra meaning covered seed capsules. This in reference to remnants of the universal veil which remain ...

Parasola
''Parasola'' is a genus of coprinoid mushrooms in the family Psathyrellaceae. These small frail fungi have translucent caps where the radiating gills look like the spokes of a parasol (except for ''P. conopilea'' which was recently added to the genus). In the past these mushrooms were classified under ''Coprinus'', but unlike that genus there is no veil and the caps do not really turn to ink, but curl up and wither.

Coprinellus
''Coprinellus'' is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Psathyrellaceae. The genus was circumscribed by the Finnish mycologist Petter Adolf Karsten in 1879. Most ''Coprinellus'' species were transferred from the once large genus ''Coprinus''. Molecular studies published in 2001 redistributed ''Coprinus'' species to ''Psathyrella'', or the segregate genera ''Coprinopsis'' and ''Coprinellus''. In 2020 Phylogenetic analysis conducted by the German mycologists Dieter Wächter & Andreas Melzer reclassified many ''Coprinellus'' species as belonging to the new genus '' Tulosesus''. Species , Index Fungorum accepted 62 species of ''Coprinellus''. In recent years many species were added to the genus having mostly been moved from ''Coprinus'' whilst numerous species were removed and placed in the genus '' Tulosesus'' in 2020. One species was moved to the monotypic genus ''Punjabia.'' The total number of accepted species has not changed greatly from the 66 in 2019 howe ...

Psathyrellaceae
The Psathyrellaceae are a family of dark-spored agarics that generally have rather soft, fragile fruiting bodies, and are characterized by black, dark brown, rarely reddish, or even pastel-colored spore prints. About 50% of species produce fruiting bodies that dissolve into ink-like ooze when the spores are mature via autodigestion. Prior to phylogenetic research based upon DNA comparisons, most of the species that autodigested were classified as Coprinaceae, which contained all of the inky-cap mushrooms. However, the type species of ''Coprinus'', '' Coprinus comatus'', and a few other species, were found to be more closely related to Agaricaceae. The former genus ''Coprinus'' was split between two families, and the name "Coprinaceae" became a synonym of Agaricaceae in its 21st-century phylogenetic redefinition. Note that in the 19th and early 20th centuries the family name Agaricaceae had far broader application, while in the late 20th century it had a narrower application. The ...
