Marasmius epiphyllus is a species of fungus that grows on leaves and other plant material. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it has been found to fruit from July to September, typically in moist, shaded areas with rich soil. The fungus forms small, bell-shaped caps that are 0.5-2 cm in diameter, with a whitish or pale brown color and a long, thin stalk. It is often associated with deciduous trees, particularly birch and alder, and can be found in forests, parks, and other wooded areas.
