''Coprinellus'' is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Psathyrellaceae. The genus was
, 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 however many species have been moved. Due to the significant changes to this genus recently many old synonyms are likely to still be in use.
Many of these species appear similar and require microscopic analysis to differentiate and identify.
