Mycena abramsii is a small to medium-sized agaric fungus with a bell-shaped cap, typically 1-3 cm in diameter, grayish-brown to brown in color, and a slender stem. It grows in clusters on decaying wood, often in moist environments. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, Mycena abramsii has been found in urban parks and forests, particularly in areas with abundant deciduous tree debris. In north-western Russia, it is commonly encountered in late summer to early autumn, fruiting on rotting logs, stumps, and other woody substrates in mixed forests dominated by birch, aspen, and alder.
