Extract from Wikipedia article: Mycena epipterygia is a species of fungi in the Mycenaceae family of mushrooms commonly found in Europe. The species is saprotrophic and its appearance is quite variable. Some parts of the fungus are bioluminescent.
Mycena epipterygia is a small to medium-sized fungus with a bell-shaped cap, typically 0.5-2 cm in diameter, that is grayish-brown to dark brown in color. It has a slender stem and grows on decaying leaves, twigs, and other organic matter. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Mycena epipterygia has been found in moist, shaded areas such as forests, parks, and along streams, often fruiting from late summer to early autumn. The fungus is relatively common in the region, particularly in areas with rich soil and abundant leaf litter.
