Lange (1936) Deconica coprophila, commonly known as the dung-loving psilocybe, meadow muffin mushroom,[2] or dung demon, is a species of mushroom in the family Strophariaceae.

First described as Agaricus coprophilus by Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard in 1793,[3] it was transferred to the genus Psilocybe by Paul Kummer in 1871.

[4] In the first decade of the 2000s, several molecular studies showed that the Psilocybe was polyphyletic,[5][6][7] and the non-bluing (non-hallucinogenic) species were transferred to Deconica.

[9] While non-toxic, the species is not a good edible mushroom.

[10] Despite the common name of the 'dung-loving psilocybe', this species does not contain psilocybin and has no psychedelic properties.
