Coprinus velatopruinatus Bender(1989) Coprinellus velatopruinatus Redhead, Vilgalys & Moncalvo (2001) Tulosesus velatopruinatus is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae.

[1] It was first described as Coprinus velatopruinatus by the mycologist Harold Bohn Bender in 1989.

[2] In 2001 a phylogenetic study resulted in a major reorganization and reshuffling of that genus and this species was transferred to Coprinellus.

[3] The species was known as Coprinellus velatopruinatus until 2020 when the German mycologists Dieter Wächter & Andreas Melzer reclassified many species in the Psathyrellaceae family based on phylogenetic analysis.

[4] In 2008 a mycological survey of Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire, England resulted in observations of this species after a heavy summer rain.
