Coprinus is a type of basidiospore. Basidiomycete is one of the major classes of fungal organisms. This class contains the mushrooms, shelf fungi, and a variety of other macrofungi. They are saprophytes, ectomycorrhizal fungi or agents of wood rot, which may destroy the structure wood of buildings. It is extremely difficult to identify a specific genera of mushrooms by using standard culture plate techniques. Some basidiomycete spores can be identified by spore morphology; however, some care should be exercised with regard to specific identification. The release of basidiospores is dependant upon moisture, and they are dispersed by wind. Coprinus is also known as the Shaggy Mane or Shaggy Ink Cap. Some species are "common on new lawns and disturbed ground in late autumn." (Referenced from the 3rd edition of The Fifth Kingdom by Bryce Kendrick)
