Pholiota conissans is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Strophariaceae. It has a small to medium-sized cap, typically 1-4 cm in diameter, which is bell-shaped to convex and often umbilicate, with a yellow-brown to reddish-brown color. The gills are crowded, narrow, and pale yellow to golden brown. The stem is slender, 1-5 cm long, and has a ring or annulus that is often fragile and soon disappears. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Pholiota conissans can be found growing in clusters on decaying wood, stumps, and logs, particularly of coniferous trees, from late summer to autumn. It is a relatively common species in the region, often occurring in moist, shaded areas with rich organic matter.
