Extract from Wikipedia article: Coprinellus angulatus is a species of mushroom in the family Psathyrellaceae. First described by mycologist Charles Horton Peck in 1874 and placed in the genus Coprinus, a 2001 phylogenetic study resulted in a major reorganization and reshuffling of that genus, and this species was transferred to Coprinellus.
