Coprinellus disseminatus (also Coprinus disseminatus; "Fairies Bonnets" or "Trooping Crumble Cap") is a species of mushroom in the Psathyrellaceae family. 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.^[1] The mushroom is edible but not worth eating. ^[2]
