Taxonomy

It was first described by mycologists Morten Lange and Alexander H. Smith as Coprinus sassii in 1952.^[2]

In 2001 a phylogenetic study resulted in a major reorganization and reshuffling of that genus and this species was transferred to Coprinellus.^[3]

The species was known as Coprinellus sassii until 2020 when the German mycologists Dieter Wächter & Andreas Melzer reclassified many species in the Psathyrellaceae family based on phylogenetic analysis.^[4]
