Extract from Wikipedia article: Mycena polygramma, commonly known as the grooved bonnet, is a species of mushroom in the Mycenaceae family. The inedible fruit bodies are small, pale gray-brown mushrooms with broadly conical caps, pinkish gills. They are found in small troops on stumps and branches of deciduous and occasionally coniferous trees. The mushroom is found in Asia, Europe, and North America, where it is typically found on twigs or buried wood, carrying out its role in the forest ecosystem by decomposing organic matter, recycling nutrients, and forming humus in the soil. M. polygramma contains two uncommon hydroxy fatty acids and is also a bioluminescent fungus whose intensity of light emission follows a diurnal pattern.
Mycena polygramma is a small to medium-sized agaric fungus with a bell-shaped cap, typically 1-3 cm in diameter, featuring a grayish-brown to dark brown color with radial fibrils. The gills are densely packed and adhere to the stem. It grows in clusters on decaying wood, stumps, or forest litter. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, Mycena polygramma is commonly found in urban parks and forests, particularly in areas with rich humus and deciduous tree species like birch and alder. In north-western Russia, it thrives in similar habitats, including mixed forests and woodland edges, often fruiting from late summer to early autumn.

The fungus was found to be thriving in this region, with a notable presence in the area. The grove's unique environment, characterized by larch trees and surrounding vegetation, provides an ideal habitat for the mushroom to grow. Further observations in north-western Russia revealed that Mycena polygramma is widespread in the region, often found in clusters on the ground or on decaying wood. The species' ability to adapt to various environments allows it to flourish in different parts of Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia.
