Coprinopsis romagnesiana es un hongo tinta perteneciente a un género conocido por la autodigestión, donde las láminas se disuelven en un líquido tintoso a medida que las esporas maduran. Crece en estiércol, suelo abonado o materia orgánica en descomposición en hábitats abiertos en regiones templadas. Como otros hongos tinta, desempeña el papel de descomponedor saprotrófico de sustratos orgánicos ricos en nitrógeno.
