Extract from Wikipedia article: Mycena inclinata, commonly known as the clustered bonnet or the oak-stump bonnet cap, is a species of mushroom in the family Mycenaceae. The doubtfully edible mushroom has a reddish-brown bell-shaped cap up to 4.5 cm (1.8 in) in diameter. The thin stem is up to 9 cm (3.5 in) tall, whitish to yellow-brown at the top but progressively becoming reddish-brown towards the base in maturity, where they are covered by a yellowish mycelium that can be up to a third of the length of the stem. The gills are pale brown to pinkish, and the spore print is white. It is a widespread saprobic fungus, and has been found in Europe, North Africa, Asia, Australasia, and North America, where it grows in small groups or tufts on fallen logs and stumps, especially of oak. British mycologist E.J.H. Corner has described two varieties of the mushroom from Borneo. Lookalike species with which M. inclinata may be confused include M. galericulata and M. maculata.
Mycena inclinata is a small to medium-sized agaric fungus with a bell-shaped cap that ranges from 1-4 cm in diameter, typically grayish-brown to dark brown in color. The gills are narrowly attached and the stem is slender, often curved, and has a white to pale brown base. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Mycena inclinata is commonly found growing on deciduous wood, particularly birch and aspen, in moist environments such as forests, parks, and along rivers. Fruiting typically occurs from July to October, with peak abundance in August and September.

Clustered bonnet mushrooms (Mycena inclinata) in a coastal forest between Lisiy Nos and Olgino, west from Saint Petersburg. Russia, September 6, 2018Saint Petersburg, Russia, 197755The fungus Mycena inclinata was observed in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia over several years. Most observations were made near Lisiy Nos, west of Saint Petersburg, between 2013 and 2018. The mushrooms were found growing on various substrates, including rotten stumps, logs, fallen oaks, and mossy trunks. They often appeared in large clusters or masses.
