The genus '''''Coprinus''''' is a small genus of [[mushrooms]] consisting of ''[[Coprinus comatus]]'' (the shaggy mane) 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 would create gave these species their common name "inky cap".) [[Molecular phylogeny|Molecular phylogenetic]] investigation found that ''Coprinus comatus'' was only a distant relative of the other members of ''Coprinus'', and was closer to genera in the [[Agaricaceae]]. Since ''Coprinus comatus'' is the [[type species]] of ''Coprinus'', only that species and its close relatives ''C. sterquilinus'' and ''C. spadiceisporus'' retained the name of the genus<ref>Redhead SA, Vilgalys R, Moncalvo J-M,Johnson J & Hopple, JS Jr. ''Coprinus'' Pers. and the disposition of ''Coprinus'' species ''sensu lato''. ''Taxon'' '''50'''(1): 203-241. 2001</ref>.
The majority of species of ''Coprinus'' were therefore reclassified into the genera ''[[Coprinellus]]'', ''[[Coprinopsis]]'', and ''[[Parasola]]''. ''Coprinus'' and these segregate genera are now referred to collectively as ''coprinoid fungi''.
