Life cycle Of Coprinellus disseminatus (zoom in)

Coprinellus disseminatus, formerly known as Coprinus disseminatus and commonly known as the fairy inkcap, fairy bonnet, or trooping crumble cap, is a species of agaric fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae. Unlike most other coprinoid mushrooms, C. disseminatus does not dissolve into black ink (deliquesce) in maturity. The species was given its current name in 1939 by Jakob Emanuel Lange.

Description

Coprinellus disseminatus grows to 4 centimetres (1+5⁄8 in) tall. The bell-shaped cap is tannish, becoming gray with age.

The species has about 143 sexes (mating types).

Distribution and habitat

The species is widespread across Europe, growing on rotting stumps.

Uses

The species is nonpoisonous. It can be eaten raw or cooked but does not preserve well.
