Extract from Wikipedia article: Coprinellus disseminatus (formerly Coprinus disseminatus; commonly known as "fairy inkcap" or "trooping crumble cap") is a species of agaric fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae. Unlike most other coprinoid mushrooms, C. disseminatus does not dissolve into black ink (deliquesce) in maturity. The species was given its current name in 1939 by Jakob Emanuel Lange. The mushroom is edible.
Coprinellus disseminatus is a species of fungus that grows in clusters on rich soil, dung, and decaying organic matter. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically fruits from late spring to early autumn, often forming large troops in moist, wooded areas and along forest edges. The caps are 1-3 cm in diameter, bell-shaped to conical, and gray-brown with a fibrillose surface, while the gills are crowded and pale brown. It is a relatively common species in the region, found in a variety of habitats including parks, gardens, and woodland margins.

Fairy inkcap mushrooms (Coprinellus disseminatus) on a stump on a lawn at 19 Molodiozhnaya Street in Kuzmolovo, north from Saint Petersburg. Russia, August 9, 2024The fungus Coprinellus disseminatus was observed in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia over several years (2007-2024). Most sightings were in Saint Petersburg's parks, particularly Sosnovka Park, where the mushrooms grew on tree stumps, lawns, and mossy areas. Observations were made from May to September, with a peak in July and August. The mushrooms often appeared in large groups or masses. Some observations noted the presence of other fungi, such as chestnut brittlestem, growing alongside Coprinellus disseminatus. The data suggests that Coprinellus disseminatus is common in the region, particularly in urban parks and wooded areas, and can thrive on various substrates. Overall, the observations provide a detailed record of the fungus's distribution and growth patterns in north-western Russia.
