Coprinopsis phaeospora is a small, delicate inky cap mushroom with a pale grey, pleated cap and dark spores. It grows on dung, compost, and nutrient-enriched soils in temperate grasslands and woodland edges across Europe. This coprophilous saprotrophic fungus decomposes organic matter in dung-enriched habitats.
