Extract from Wikipedia article: Lichenomphalia umbellifera is a species of agaric fungus in the family Hygrophoraceae.
Lichenomphalia umbellifera is a small to medium-sized fungus with a bell-shaped cap, typically 1-4 cm in diameter, yellow-brown to greyish-brown in color, and a slender stem. It grows in clusters on mosses, soil, and decaying plant material in moist, acidic environments. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it is found in coniferous forests, bogs, and heathlands, often associated with Sphagnum mosses. In north-western Russia, it is widely distributed in similar habitats, including the Murmansk Oblast, Arkhangelsk Oblast, and the Republic of Karelia. Fruiting bodies typically appear from July to September.
