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 geesterani是小脆柄菇科的一种小型墨汁鬼伞，具有淡色褶皱菌盖，成熟时自溶为墨汁。栖息于欧洲温带环境的粪便、堆肥和营养丰富土壤中。这种粪生腐生真菌在粪便丰富和堆肥生境中分解有机废物。
