Summary Redhead, S. A., Vilgalys, R., Moncalvo, J.‐M., Johnson, J. & Hopple, S., Jr.: Coprinus Pers. and the disposition of species sensu lato. – Taxon 50: 203–241. 2001. –1SSN 0040–0262. Based upon molecular studies, genus is subdivided into stricto ( Agaricaceae ), Coprinellus P. Karst., Coprinopsis Parasola gen. nov. in new family Psathyrellaceae. The nomenclatural history typifications names previously treated as synonyms are reviewed. It demonstrated that taxonomic characters considered not to be generically significant gain importance when correlated with evidence. Many combinations proposed. A key using anatomical features molecularly (phylogenetically) recognised coprinoid genera provided.
