Extract from Wikipedia article: Mycena metata is a species of Mycenaceae fungus found in Europe. It is inedible.
Mycena metata is a small to medium-sized agaric fungus with a conical to bell-shaped cap, typically 1-3 cm in diameter, and a slender stem. It has a reddish-brown to brown cap with a darker umbo, and white to pale yellow gills. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Mycena metata is found growing on decaying wood, stumps, and logs in moist, shaded areas, often in coniferous or mixed forests. Fruiting bodies typically appear from late summer to early autumn. The species is relatively common in the region, particularly in areas with abundant deciduous and coniferous tree species.

Buff bonnet mushrooms (Mycena metata(?)) on a tree utilization site in Sosnovka Park. Saint Petersburg, Russia, May 31, 2019
Side view of buff bonnet mushrooms (Mycena metata(?)) in Sosnovka Park. Saint Petersburg, Russia, May 31, 2019Observations of Mycena metata were made in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia on multiple occasions. In September 2016, the fungus was found near Lisiy Nos, west of Saint Petersburg. A year later, in September 2017, it was observed again in the same area, specifically in Blizhnie Dubki. In May 2019, Mycena metata was spotted on a tree utilization site in Sosnovka Park, Saint Petersburg, with additional observations of its side view made at the same location. The fungus appeared as bonnet mushrooms, with some specimens described as buff-colored. These sightings suggest that Mycena metata is present in the region, with a possible affinity for wooded areas and disturbed tree sites. Further study would be needed to confirm the identity and habits of this fungus in the region.
