Gymnopus aquosus is a species of fungus that grows on wood, typically found in moist environments. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been recorded in forests and wooded areas, often associated with decaying logs and stumps. In north-western Russia, it is considered a relatively rare species, but can be found in similar habitats, including coniferous and mixed forests. The fungus produces small to medium-sized fruiting bodies with a bell-shaped cap and slender stem, typically ranging in color from yellow-brown to grey-brown.
