Coprinopsis stercorea é um pequeno cogumelo tinta que cresce em esterco de herbívoros e solos enriquecidos com estrume, como o nome da espécie implica. Habita pastagens, estábulos e áreas florestais com depósitos de esterco nas regiões temperadas da Europa e América do Norte. Este fungo saprotrófico coprófilo decompõe a matéria orgânica do esterco e autodigere o seu chapéu à medida que os esporos amadurecem.
