Naucoria subconspersa is a species of agaric fungus that grows on soil, moss, and decaying wood. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically fruits in late summer to early autumn, often in coniferous and mixed forests. The cap is 1-4 cm in diameter, convex to flat, and reddish-brown to dark brown, with a velvety or fibrillose surface. The gills are adnate to emarginate, and the spores are elliptical, measuring 7-10 x 4-5 μm. It is considered a rare species in the region, but can be found in areas with rich soil and abundant organic matter.
