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.
