Inocybe napipes is a species of mushroom in the family Inocybaceae. It has a conical to bell-shaped cap that is 1-3 cm in diameter, often with a prominent umbo, and is typically brown to reddish-brown in color. The stem is slender, 2-5 cm long, and has a club-shaped or bulbous base. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, Inocybe napipes has been found growing in association with trees such as birch, spruce, and pine, often in moist, sandy soils. In north-western Russia, it typically fruits from July to September, and is considered a relatively rare species in the region.

Saint Petersburg, Russia, August 4, 2017Unnamed Road, Sankt-Peterburg, Russia, 194295Observations of Inocybe napipes in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its presence in specific habitats. The fungus was found in the area of a peat swamp in Sosnovka Park, Saint Petersburg, growing among moss on peat soil. Multiple sightings occurred in this park, with records on June 30, July 6, and August 4, 2017.
