Coprinellus disseminatus, known as the Fairy Inkcap, is a small, saprotrophic basidiomycete mushroom in the Psathyrellaceae family. The cap is typically 0.5 to 2 cm in diameter, initially bell-shaped, becoming convex to flat as it matures. Its color ranges from pale gray-brown to yellow-brown, often with a slightly darker center.
The gills of Coprinellus disseminatus are crowded, adnate to slightly decurrent, and change from white to black as the spores mature. The stipe is slender, measuring 2 to 6 cm in height and 0.1 to 0.3 cm in diameter, with a white to pale gray color and a smooth surface.
Coprinellus disseminatus is a saprotrophic fungus that decomposes plant debris and organic matter, particularly on decaying wood. It plays an important role in nutrient cycling within ecosystems by breaking down organic materials and releasing nutrients back into the environment.
The distribution of Coprinellus disseminatus is widespread, being found in Europe, North America, and other parts of the world. It is a common species that can be found in various habitats.
The spores of Coprinellus disseminatus are smooth, ellipsoid, and dark brown to black. They measure approximately 6 to 10 µm in length and 3.5 to 6 µm in width. The spore print color is black.
The habitat of Coprinellus disseminatus includes various environments, such as forests, gardens, parks, and urban areas. It is typically found growing on decaying wood, such as logs, stumps, or wood chips.
Coprinellus disseminatus is considered inedible due to its small size and the rapid autodigestion of its gills, which turns the fruiting body into an inky mess.
The chemical composition of Coprinellus disseminatus has not been well studied, and the presence of bioactive compounds or other interesting chemicals within this fungus remains unknown.
Coprinellus disseminatus is characterized by its deliquescence, a process in which the gills liquefy and turn into a black, inky substance as the mushroom matures.
The ecological role of Coprinellus disseminatus is primarily that of a decomposer, contributing to the breakdown of organic materials and recycling of nutrients within ecosystems.
Coprinellus disseminatus is often found in large clusters, with fruiting bodies growing close together on the same substrate.
