Hypholoma polytrichi is a species of fungus that grows on mosses, particularly Polytrichum species. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically fruits in summer to early autumn, forming small to medium-sized caps that are brown to grey-brown in color. The fungus is found in moist, shaded areas with abundant moss growth, such as forests, woodland edges, and rocky outcrops. It is considered a rare species in the region, but can be locally common in suitable habitats.
