Extract from Wikipedia article: Galerina marginata is a species of poisonous fungus in the family Hymenogastraceae of the order Agaricales. Prior to 2001, the species G. autumnalis, G. oregonensis, G. unicolor, and G. venenata were thought to be separate due to differences in habitat and the viscidity of their caps, but phylogenetic analysis showed that they are all the same species.
Galerina marginata is a small to medium-sized agaric fungus with a brown cap and yellowish-brown gills. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically grows in clusters on moss, wood, and other organic substrates in coniferous forests, particularly in areas with moist acidic soils. It has been found fruiting from late summer to early autumn, often in association with sphagnum moss and other acidic plant species. In north-western Russia, Galerina marginata is widely distributed and can be found in similar habitats, including bogs, heathlands, and coniferous forests, where it plays a role in decomposing organic matter and contributing to the region's fungal biodiversity.

Young funeral bell mushrooms (Galerina marginata, Galerina autumnalis) in a coastal forest between Lisiy Nos and Olgino, west from Saint Petersburg. Russia, September 6, 2018Saint Petersburg, Russia, 197755In Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia, observations of Galerina marginata were recorded at various locations. The fungus was found on logs, wood chips, and mossy stumps in areas such as Dibuny, Kuzmolovo, Orekhovo, Pavlovsk Park, Petiayarvi, Blizhnie Dubki, and Lisiy Nos. Observations took place from September to November over three years (2016-2018). The mushrooms were often found in groups, with young specimens observed near Dibuny and in coastal forests between Lisiy Nos and Olgino. Some observations also noted the presence of Galerina autumnalis, suggesting possible co-habitation or similarity in habitat preferences. The varied locations and repeated sightings suggest that Galerina marginata is a relatively common species in this
