Coprinellus truncorum is a species of mushroom in the Psathyrellaceae family. Part of the cluster of mushroom morphologically related to Coprinellus micaceus, this species can be distinguished from C. micaceus by a smooth, rather than pruinose (powdery) stem, and by having more elliptical spores. Although not conclusively proven yet, this species may be conspecific with C. micaeus.^[1]
