Coprinus grandisporus

An inky cap described by Paul Hennings in 1895, named for its unusually large spores. Nothing beyond the protologue citation was reachable, and GBIF holds no usable records, so the growing notes are generic for small Coprinus.

Where it grows wild

Unknown; Hennings described many fungi from tropical colonial collections and botanic-garden material, but the type locality was not reachable. Treat as a saprotroph of soil, litter or dung.

🔒 Growing it like that

The wild conditions above, turned into targets for a shelf, a tent or a greenhouse. The full profile has:

✓ Day and night temperature targets, and the limits it tolerates
✓ Humidity band, and how to hold it
✓ Light as DLI and PPFD for a grow light
✓ Wet and dry seasons, and whether to rest it
✓ Substrate and airflow
✓ A step-by-step setup to grow it like the wild
