Biography
John Hopple is the guy who, while still in graduate school, broke the news about the shaggy mane being more closely related to Agaricus than to the other Coprinus species. As Scott Redhead put it, "None of us [at the conference] wanted to believe him, but we gave him the award anyway for being so brave." This started the ball rolling for the whole tremendous revision of the black-spored genera that you can read about in the articles below and (in normal-English-friendly summary) in Redhead's (2001) "Bully for Coprinus - - a story of manure, minutiae, and molecules"
