Common Ink Cap

<em>Coprinopsis atramentaria</em>, commonly known as the common ink cap, is a saprotrophic fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, with a distribution spanning Asia (including Taiwan), Europe, and North America. The species typically grows on forest floors, buried wood, stumps, and other decomposing woody substrates in temperate regions. As a saprotroph, it plays an important ecological role in breaking down organic matter. The common ink cap is notable for containing coprine, a compound that inhibits aldehyde dehydrogenase and causes unpleasant reactions when consumed with alcohol. Diet information for this species is not available in current records. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Coprinopsis romagnesiana는 포자가 성숙하면 아가미가 잉크 액체로 용해되는 자가소화로 알려진 먹물버섯속에 속한다. 온대 지역 개방 서식지의 분변, 거름진 토양, 분해 중인 유기물에서 자란다. 다른 먹물버섯류와 마찬가지로 질소가 풍부한 유기 기질의 부생 분해자 역할을 한다.
