Habitat

Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Coprinopsis stercorea is a small, inky cap mushroom growing on herbivore dung and manure-enriched soils, as its species name implies. It inhabits pastures, stables, and woodland areas with dung deposits across temperate regions of Europe and North America. This coprophilous saprotrophic fungus decomposes dung organic matter and autodigests its cap as spores mature.
