Extract from Wikipedia article: Gymnopus dryophilus is a mushroom commonly found in temperate woodlands of Europe and North America. It is generally saprophytic, but occasionally also attacks living wood. It belongs to section Levipedes of the genus, being characterized by a smooth stem having no hairs at the base (in contrast to section Vestipedes). Until recently it was most frequently known as Collybia dryophila.
Gymnopus dryophilus is a small to medium-sized agaric fungus with a bell-shaped to convex cap, typically 1-4 cm in diameter, brown to tan in color, and a slender stipe. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it is commonly found in coniferous and mixed forests, often growing on the ground or on decaying wood, particularly under spruce and pine trees. Fruiting typically occurs from July to October.
