Coprinus

Coprinus(Coprinus comatus) is a fungus that grows from summer to autumn, mainly in open places, i.e. meadows, forest edges, gardens... it prefers soil that is rich in nitrogen. It inhabits areas of the northern hemisphere, especially Europe and North America.

Coprinus is edible, but only the young fruits are eaten, which are white and closed, later darkening considerably and becoming less palatable, even inedible.

The dung beetle can also be grown artificially, even indoors.

Coprinus was first described by the Danish naturalist O. F. Müllerin in 1780. It was named Agaricus comatus, and was named Coprinus comatus in 1797 by Ch. H. Persoon.
