Extract from Wikipedia article: Tubaria furfuracea, commonly known as the scurfy twiglet, is a common species of agaric fungus in the family Tubariaceae. It was first described by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon in 1801 as a species of Agaricus. French mycologist Claude-Casimir Gillet transferred it to the genus Tubaria in 1876.
Tubaria furfuracea is a small to medium-sized agaric fungus with a bell-shaped to convex cap, typically 1-4 cm in diameter, covered in fine scales or powdery particles, and a slender stem. It grows in clusters on decaying organic matter, such as wood, plant debris, and soil rich in humus. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Tubaria furfuracea has been found in various habitats, including forests, parks, and gardens, often fruiting from late summer to early autumn, particularly in areas with abundant leaf litter and moist soils.
