Coprinellus domesticus is a species of fungus that grows on dung, particularly horse and cow manure. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits in the spring and fall, often in areas with rich soil and abundant moisture. The fungus produces small to medium-sized caps that are initially bell-shaped and later become more convex, ranging in color from brown to grayish-brown, with a distinctive wrinkled or veined appearance. The gills are crowded and free from the stem, turning black as the spores mature. It can be found in fields, pastures, and along roadsides where livestock have grazed.

The fungus was found on different substrates such as dry branches, fallen trees, stumps, rotting oak wood, and mossy oak logs. It appeared in various forms, including Ozonium auricomum and inkcap mushrooms. Sightings occurred throughout the year, with records from October 2017 to June 2021.
