Coprinopsis atramentaria f. cul. abstemia-coprinica
abstemia: harm only with alcohol. The eater abstains from alcohol around the meal: the records give a day before to two days after (Vishnevsky 2020), up to three days before or after (DGfM 2023), five days (Finnish Food Authority). No kitchen route is offered: none is known, and none is needed without alcohol. Latin abstemius, abstaining from wine.
