Twenty-five specimens of coprinoid fungi were collected during an ongoing survey of agaric fungi in Kermanshah Province, western Iran. The specimens were identified based on morphological characteristics and molecular analysis of internal transcribed spacer sequences. Five species of Coprinellus viz C. disseminates, C. flocculosus, C. micaceus, C. radians and C. xanthothrix, three species of Coprinopsis viz C. atramentaria, C. insignis and C. semitalis and two species of Coprinus viz C. pinetorum and C. sterquilinus were identified. Among the species identified in this research, three unreported species from Iran namely C. insignis, C. semitalis and C. pinetorum are reported. Detailed morphological descriptions and illustrations of this three newly-recorded species were provided here and their evolutionary relationships were presented by the constructing of a phylogenetic tree.

Coprophilous species of sect. , commonly known as "snow inkcap", are widespread in pastoral areas; however, wide sampling approaches are needed to discover new taxa and to clarify the taxonomic status of the so-called "snow inkcap". Nationwide field work was conducted in China with a detailed record collected of the distribution and the animal origin of the dung.

Several coprinoid fungi have been identified as promotors of Cremastra appendiculata seed germination, while others appear ineffective. This study aimed to discern which genera within the Psathyrellaceae family exhibit this capability and to identify the most effective coprinoid fungi for the cultivation of C. appendiculata.

Although coprinoid mushrooms are widely known for the phenomenon of deliquescence and production of fungal laccases and extracellular peroxygenases, the genome structure and genetic diversity of coprinoid mushroom species have not been extensively studied. To reveal the genomic structure and diversity in coprinoid mushroom species, the genomes of five coprinoid mushroom species were compared and analyzed. A total of 24,303 orthologous gene families, including 89,462 genes, were identified in the five species.

In this work, we introduced a new report, Coprinopsis afrocinerea, a coprinoid mushroom from Pakistan. This species was collected several times during the monsoon season; it was found growing on animal dung and on sandy soil mixed with wood chips and leaf litter. This taxon was identified through morphological (macro- and micromorphology) techniques and molecular (ITS-region) markers.

The coprinoid mushrooms or coprini are species of former genus Coprinus Pers. (Coprinaceae, Agaricomycetes) currently divided into four new genera: Coprinus, Coprinopsis, Coprinellus, and Parasola. The presented review addresses literature data and findings from our recent observations on bioactive compounds (sesquiterpenes, proteins, lectins, phenolics, polysaccharides, fatty acids, etc.
