Psilocybe coprophila, commonly known as the dung-loving Psilocybe, is a species of mushroom in the Strophariaceae family. First described as Agaricus coprophilus by Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard in 1793,[2] it was transferred to the genus Psilocybe by Paul Kummer in 1871.[3] Unlike many other members of its genus, it is not considered to be a psychoactive species.[4]
