Hebeloma cylindrosporum is an agaric fungus in the family Hymenogastraceae, assessed as Data Deficient (DD). It forms ectomycorrhizal associations with conifers and has been widely used in laboratory studies of mycorrhizal physiology. Limited field occurrence data make a precise conservation assessment difficult.

Hebeloma fragilipes is a small, slender-stemmed mushroom with a pale brown to ochre cap and a distinctively fragile stipe, giving rise to its species name. It grows in grasslands, heathlands, and woodland edges across Europe, forming mycorrhizal associations with various trees and shrubs. Like many Hebeloma species, it produces a faint radish-like odor and is considered mildly toxic.
