Coprinites
''Coprinites'' is an extinct monotypic genus of gilled fungus in the Agaricales family Agaricaceae. At present it contains the single species ''Coprinites dominicana''.
The genus is solely known from the early Miocene, Burdigalian stage, Dominican amber deposits on the island of Hispaniola.〔 ''Coprinites'' is one of only four known agarics fungus species known in the fossil record and the first of three to be described from Dominican amber.〔
==History and classification==
The genus is known only from the single holotype "''AF-9-11''", a single fruiting body, mushroom, specimen currently residing in the Poinar collections maintained by the University of California, Berkeley.〔 The specimen was collected from the La Toca amber mine, northeast of Santiago de los Caballeros, in the Cordillera Septentrional area of the Dominican Republic. It was first studied by Dr. George Poinar of the UC, Berkeley and Dr. Rolf Singer from the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois. Poinar and Singer published their 1990 type description in the journal ''Science''.〔 The generic epithet ''Coprinites'' is in reference to the genus similarity to the modern genus ''Coprinus''. The specific epithet "''dominicana''" was coined by the authors in reference to the Dominican Republic where the fossil was recovered.
When initially published ''Coprinites dominicana'' was the first species of agaric fungus to be described. Two more species ''Protomycena electra'' and ''Aureofungus yaniguaensis'' have since been described from fossils found in the amber mines of the Dominican Republic, while the fourth species ''Archaeomarasmius leggeti'' is from older Cretaceous age New Jersey Amber.〔〔 With the 2007 publication of a fifth extinct agaric species, ''Palaeoagaracites antiquus'' the age for the order was pushed back to the Albian (approximately 100 Ma).
