Where it grows wild

Grows on sandy coastal ground; the type collections are from the beach at Coto de Doñana and the Dutch record is from dunes near IJmuiden. As a Coprinus in the strict sense (comatus group) it is a soil saprotroph on buried organic matter.

Sea level: beach and foredune habitats.
