Extract from Wikipedia article: Galerina hypnorum is a species of agaric fungus in the family Hymenogastraceae.
Galerina hypnorum is a small to medium-sized agaric fungus that grows in moss, typically in coniferous forests. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found in sphagnum bogs and damp areas with abundant moss cover. In north-western Russia, it is commonly associated with Sphagnum spp. and other mosses, often fruiting from late summer to early autumn. The fungus is characterized by its brown to reddish-brown cap, 0.5-2 cm in diameter, and slender stem, 1-4 cm long, with a ring or annulus present in some specimens.
Observations of Galerina hypnorum in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia revealed the fungus growing in various environments. In June 2017, small slender mushrooms were found in a swamp near Orekhovo. Similar specimens were discovered on a mossy log in Sosnovka Park in July 2017. The fungus was also observed in Kuzmolovo and on a fallen oak branch near Lisiy Nos in late July 2017. In August 2017, Galerina hypnorum was found growing alongside peat brownie mushrooms in moss near Dibuny. Further sightings were recorded in Sosnovka Park in September 2017 and near Dibuny later that month. The fungus appeared to thrive in mossy environments, with multiple observations made in such settings throughout the summer and early fall of 2017. The locations ranged from swamps to parks and forests, showcasing the adaptability of Galerina hypnorum.
