Inocybe agardhii is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Inocybaceae. It is characterized by its small to medium-sized cap, which is typically 1-4 cm in diameter, and ranges in color from yellowish-brown to reddish-brown. The gills are crowded, narrow, and adhere to the stem. This species is found in St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, often growing in groups or clusters on soil in coniferous and mixed forests, particularly under pine, spruce, and birch trees.
In Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia, observations of Inocybe agardhii have been recorded in specific locations. A large number of velvety brown caps were found in a coastal forest between Lisiy Nos and Olgino, west of Saint Petersburg, on September 6, 2018. Additionally, similar mushrooms were spotted near a road west of Kavgolovskoe Lake, near Toksovo, north of Saint Petersburg, on July 26, 2024. The fungus appears to thrive in these regions, with notable sightings in late summer and early autumn. The velvety brown caps are distinctive features of Inocybe agardhii, and the observations suggest that the species may be relatively common in certain areas of Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia. The specific habitats and conditions of these locations may be contributing factors to the presence of this fungus.
