Now all mushrooms previously categorised under Copelandia are universally classified in Panaeolus. [1] The genus Copelandia was created as a subgenus of Panaeolus by Abbé Giacomo Bresadola (1847–1929) in honor of Edwin Bingham Copeland (1873–1964), an American who gathered fungi in the Philippines and sent some collections to Bresadola.
Courses about mushroom cultivation can be attended in many countries around Europe. There is education available for growing mushrooms on coffee grounds, [37] [38] more advanced training for larger scale farming, [39] spawn production and lab work [40] and growing facilities. [41] Events are organised with different intervals.
Volvariella volvacea, well known as the "paddy straw mushroom", is cultured in rice straw in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. This species also favors wood chip piles.

They grow in shelf-like arrangements, without stalks. [3] The gills, which produce basidiospores on their surface, split when the mushroom dries out, earning this mushroom the common name split gill. It is common in rotting wood. [4] The mushrooms can remain dry for decades and then revived with moisture. [3]
Mushroom hunting, mushrooming, mushroom picking, mushroom foraging, and similar terms describe the activity of gathering mushrooms in the wild. This is typically done for culinary use , although medicinal and psychotropic uses are also known.
