Clitopilopsis hirneola is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Tricholomataceae. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it has been found growing in coniferous and mixed forests, typically on acidic soils. Fruitbodies are small to medium-sized, with convex to flat caps ranging from 1-4 cm in diameter, and stems 1-3 cm long. The cap surface is often wrinkled or veined, and the spore print is pinkish-brown. Records from the region indicate that Clitopilopsis hirneola fruits from July to October, with a peak in August and September. It is considered a rare species in the area, but can be locally abundant in suitable habitats.
