Mycena filopes is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Mycenaceae. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically grows in clusters on decaying wood, stumps, and tree roots in moist, shaded areas. The cap is 1-3 cm in diameter, bell-shaped to conical, and grayish-brown with a radially fibrillose surface. The gills are crowded, narrowly attached, and pale gray. The stem is slender, 2-6 cm long, and covered with fine white hairs. Fruitings occur from July to October, often in association with spruce, fir, or birch trees.
