Synonym: Naucoria mammillata.
Common name: moss bell.
Galerina mammillata is a small to medium-sized agaric fungus with a bell-shaped to convex cap, typically 1-3 cm in diameter, brown to reddish-brown in color, and a slender stem. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it is commonly found in mossy areas, grasslands, and coniferous forests, often growing solitary or in small groups, typically from late summer to early autumn. The fungus is widely distributed in the region, including in urban and natural environments, such as parks, forests, and bogs.
Observations of the fungus Galerina mammillata in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal that it grows on decaying wood, specifically on stumps and rotted spruce. The mushrooms were found near Lisiy Nos, west of Saint Petersburg, on multiple occasions: July 27, 2017, and September 1, 2018. They were identified as possibly being Galerina mammillata, also known as moss bell, due to their brown gills and bell-shaped caps. The mushrooms were observed growing in groups on the rotting wood, with close-up observations showing their distinctive features. The consistent appearance of these mushrooms in the same location over time suggests that they may be a common species in the area, thriving in the moist, wooded environments of Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia.
