Inocybe fuscidula is a small to medium-sized fungus with a bell-shaped cap that ranges from 1-4 cm in diameter, typically reddish-brown to dark brown in color. It has a cylindrical stem and gills that are crowded and pale brown. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it is often found growing in groups on the ground in deciduous and mixed forests, particularly under birch, aspen, and willow trees. In north-western Russia, I. fuscidula typically fruits from July to September, with a preference for moist, fertile soils and moderate shade.
Observations of Inocybe fuscidula in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal the presence of this fungus in roadside areas. On June 27, 2017, big fibrecap mushrooms, possibly Inocybe fuscidula, were found near Dibuny, west of Saint Petersburg. Similar specimens were collected from the same location, with close-up observations revealing characteristic features. The following day, June 28, 2017, more fibrecap mushrooms, potentially Inocybe fuscidula, were spotted on a roadside near Kavgolovskoe Lake, between Oselki and Toksovo, north of Saint Petersburg. These sightings suggest that Inocybe fuscidula may be present in the region, particularly in areas with roadside vegetation. The observations highlight the need for further identification and study to confirm the presence of this species in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia.
