Coprinopsis geesterani is a small, inky cap mushroom in the Psathyrellaceae family with a pale, pleated cap that autodigests into ink at maturity. It inhabits dung, compost, and nutrient-rich soils in temperate European environments. This coprophilous saprotrophic fungus decomposes organic waste in dung-enriched and compost habitats.
