Coprinellus curtus is a species of mushroom in the Psathyrellaceae family. It was first described as Coprinus curtus by Károly Kalchbrenner in 1876 before being transferred to the genus Coprinellus in 2001.[1]
A strain of this fungus (named GM-21) produces an anti-fungal compound known to inhibit bottom-rot disease of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris) caused by the plant pathogen Rhizonoctonia solani.[2]
