Coprinus acidorus

An inky cap described by Raithelhuber in 1977 from Argentina (Hongos Argentinos). The epithet suggests a sour smell. The single GBIF record is from northern Patagonia near Bariloche, and little else is published.

Where it grows wild

Probably a small saprotroph of soil, litter or dung like most Coprinus sensu lato; the exact substrate is not in reachable sources. The record sits in the Andean-Patagonian forest–steppe zone.

The Bariloche area lies roughly 700–1000 m; the record has no elevation.
