Hypholoma myosotis is a species of mushroom-forming fungus that belongs to the family Hymenogastraceae. It is found in St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, typically growing in clusters on decaying wood, stumps, and tree roots in coniferous and mixed forests. The cap is 2-5 cm in diameter, bell-shaped to convex, with a gray-brown to dark brown color, and a smooth or slightly scaly surface. The gills are gray-brown to black, and the stem is slender, gray-brown to black, and fibrillose. It fruits from July to October, and is considered an edible species, but not highly valued due to its small size and bitter taste.
Observations of the fungus Hypholoma myosotis in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia revealed its presence in wet environments. On July 27, 2017, small mushrooms were found on wet leaves near Lisiy Nos, west of Saint Petersburg. They had long stems and were observed in close proximity to each other. The caps of the mushrooms were also examined, showcasing their distinct features. In August 2018, the fungus was spotted near Razliv swamp, north-west of Saint Petersburg, with observations on August 15 and 28. The gills and caps of the mushrooms were studied, providing further insight into the species' characteristics in this region. Overall, Hypholoma myosotis appears to thrive in wet areas, such as swamps and near water bodies, in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia.
