The cluster of gray mushrooms labeled Coprinus disseminatus are actually Mycenas. This photo should probably be removed from the article. Shroomydan (talk) 02:01, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads-up Dan - have replaced the pic. Sasata (talk) 05:00, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Better photo?

I don't like messing with FA class articles, especially when it's outside my area of expertise. However, I've just uploaded a stunningly good set of photos, and there's one for this species. I offer it for your consideration. Needs a licence review, though (another thing where I'm a bit stumped). Schwede 66 00:52, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Coprinellus micaceus is a common species of fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae with a cosmopolitan distribution. It is a saprotrophic species, deriving nutrients from dead and decomposing wood. The fruiting body grows in clusters and is commonly known as the mica cap or shiny cap because of the fine layer of reflective mica-like cells on the cap surface. The fungus is edible soon after collection, but after a few hours, the gills begin to slowly dissolve into a black, inky, spore-laden liquid. These C. micaceus mushrooms were photographed near Erbach an der Donau, Germany.
