Coprinopsis geesterani es un pequeño hongo tinta de la familia Psathyrellaceae con un sombrero pálido y plegado que se autodigiere convirtiéndose en tinta al madurar. Habita en estiércol, compost y suelos ricos en nutrientes en ambientes europeos templados. Este hongo saprotrófico coprófilo descompone residuos orgánicos en hábitats enriquecidos con estiércol y compost.

Coprinopsis insignis es un hongo agaricáceo de la familia Psathyrellaceae, evaluado como Vulnerable (VU). Crece sobre madera en descomposición o restos leñosos en hábitats de bosque caducifolio maduro. Su estado vulnerable refleja el declive de los grandes sustratos de madera muerta en paisajes forestales gestionados.
