Coprinopsis martinii is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae. [1] [2]

Taxonomy

It was first described in 1960 by the English mycologist Peter Darbishire Orton and classified as Coprinus martinii. [3]

In 2001 phylogentic analysis restructured the Coprinus genus and it was reclassified as Coprinopsis martinii by the mycologists Scott Alan Redhead, Rytas J. Vilgalys & Jean-Marc Moncalvo. [4]

Description

Coprinus martinii is a small inkcap mushroom which grows in wetland environments.

Cap: 0.5-2.2cm. Starts ovoid and expands to convex and then campanulate (bell shaped). Sometimes presenting as umbonate. Grey and covered in powdery fragments of the veil. Gills: Start white before turning black and deliquescing (dissolving into an ink-like black substance). Crowded. Stem: 3.2-6cm long and 1.5-2mm in diameter. Pale grey and tapering towards a slightly swollen base. Spore print: Black. Spores: Ellipsoid and smooth with a germ pore. 12.-16 x 6.5-8.5 μm. Taste: Indistinct. Smell: Indistinct. [5] [6]

Habitat and distribution

Grows trooping in small groups on rotting sedges and rushes belonging to the genera Carex , Scirpus and Juncus. Found in marshes and wetland environments spring through autumn. Widespread but seldom recorded. [5] [6] [7]

<i>Coprinus</i> Genus of fungi

Coprinus is a small genus of mushroom-forming fungi consisting of Coprinus comatus—the shaggy ink cap (British) or shaggy mane (American)—and several of its close relatives. Until 2001, Coprinus was a large genus consisting of all agaric species in which the lamellae autodigested to release their spores. The black ink-like liquid this creates gave these species their common name "ink cap" (British) or "inky cap" (American).

<i>Coprinopsis</i> Genus of fungi

Coprinopsis is a genus of mushrooms in the family Psathyrellaceae. Coprinopsis was split out of the genus Coprinus based on molecular data. The species Coprinopsis cinerea is a model organism for mushroom-forming basidiomycota, and its genome has recently been sequenced completely.

<i>Coprinellus</i> Genus of fungi

Coprinellus is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Psathyrellaceae. The genus was circumscribed by the Finnish mycologist Petter Adolf Karsten in 1879. Most Coprinellus species were transferred from the once large genus Coprinus. Molecular studies published in 2001 redistributed Coprinus species to Psathyrella, or the segregate genera Coprinopsis and Coprinellus.

Coprinellus ellisii is a species of mushroom in the family Psathyrellaceae. Found in Europe, it was first described as Coprinus ellisii by Peter D. Orton in 1960, and later transferred to the genus Coprinellus in 2001. The specific epithet ellisii honours E.A. Ellis, who, according to Orton, was "the Norfolk naturalist and mycologist who collected this and who brought me many puzzling and apparently undescribed agarics."

<i>Parasola auricoma</i> Species of fungus

Parasola auricoma is a species of agaric fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae. First described scientifically in 1886, the species is found in Europe, Japan, and North America. The mushroom was reported in February 2019 in Colombia, in the city of Bogota by the mycologist Juan Camilo Rodriguez Martinez. The small, umbrella-shaped fruit bodies (mushrooms) of the fungus grow in grass or woodchips and are short-lived, usually collapsing with age in a few hours. The caps are up to 6 cm (2.4 in) wide, initially elliptical before flattening out, and colored reddish-brown to greyish, depending on their age and hydration. They are pleated with radial grooves extending from the center to the edge of the cap. The slender, whitish stems are up to 12 cm (4.7 in) long and a few millimeters thick. Microscopically, P. auricoma is characterized by the presence of setae in its cap cuticle. This characteristic, in addition to the relatively large, ellipsoid spores can be used to distinguish it from other morphologically similar Parasola species.

Coprinopsis acuminata, commonly known as the humpback inkcap mushroom and earlier as Coprinus acuminatus, is a coprophilous fungus that grows on herbivore dung. It is heterothallic.

Coprinopsis nivea is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae. It is commonly known as the snowy inkcap.
