Hypholoma marginatum is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Hymenogastraceae. It is characterized by its gray-brown cap with a distinctive marginal band, gills that are initially grayish-brown and become darker with age, and a stipe that is typically longer than the cap diameter. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Hypholoma marginatum has been found to grow in clusters on stumps, logs, and other decaying wood, often in coniferous forests. The fungus typically fruits from late summer to early autumn, with peak activity in September and October. It is considered a common species in the region, with frequent records from urban parks, forests, and coastal areas.
