Taxonomy

It was first described as Agaricus ephemerus by French mycologist Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard in 1786.^[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 ephemerus until 2020 when the German mycologists Dieter Wächter and Andreas Melzer reclassified many species in the Psathyrellaceae family based on phylogenetic analysis.^[4]
