Extract from Wikipedia article: Conocybe apala is a basidiomycete fungus and a member of Conocybe. It is a fairly common fungus, both in North America and Europe, found growing among short green grass. Until recently, the species was also commonly called Conocybe lactea or Conocybe albipes and is colloquially known as the white dunce cap . Another common synonym, Bolbitius albipes G.H.

Conocybe apala is a species of fungus that grows in lawns, fields, and other grassy areas. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically fruits from June to September, forming small, bell-shaped caps that are 0.5-2 cm in diameter, grayish-brown to brown in color, with a conic to campanulate shape and a slender stem. The fungus is often found in moist, nutrient-rich environments, such as parks, meadows, and along roadsides.
