Russian name: Feokollibiya Dzhenni.
Phaeocollybia jennyae is a rare and poorly known species of fungus found in coniferous forests. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically grows in association with spruce and pine trees. Records from north-western Russia indicate that the fungus fruits in late summer to early autumn, often in moist, shaded areas with rich soil. The cap is small, 1-3 cm in diameter, and ranges in color from brown to grey-brown, while the stem is slender and hairy. Limited collections have been made in the region, suggesting it may be a locally rare or understudied species.
