Taxonomy

It was first described by the English mycologist Peter Darbishire Orton in 1976 and placed in the Coprinus genus.

In 2001, a phylogenetic study resulted in a major reorganization and reshuffling of that genus and this species was transferred to Coprinellus.^[2]

The species was known as Coprinellus bisporiger until 2020 when the German mycologists Dieter Wächter & Andreas Melzer reclassified many species in the Psathyrellaceae family based on phylogenetic analysis.^[3]
