Coprinopsis pseudofriesii is a small, inky cap mushroom related to the shaggy ink cap, with a pale grey cap that liquefies at maturity. It grows on richly organic soils, old compost, and near buried woody debris in temperate forests. This saprotrophic fungus decomposes organic matter and woody material in its forest soil habitat.

Coprinopsis romagnesiana is an inkcap mushroom belonging to a genus known for autodigestion, where the gills dissolve into an inky liquid as spores mature. It grows on dung, manured soil, or decaying organic matter in open habitats across temperate regions. Like other inkcaps, it plays a role as a saprotrophic decomposer of nitrogen-rich organic substrates.
