Ockerbrauner Trichterling

<em>Infundibulicybe gibba</em>, commonly known as the common funnel, is a saprotrophic fungus in the family Tricholomataceae. It has been documented in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and the United States, and is known to occur more broadly across temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The species typically inhabits forest floors and areas with decomposing wood and leaf litter, where it plays a key role in breaking down organic matter and recycling nutrients. <em>Infundibulicybe gibba</em> produces characteristic funnel-shaped fruiting bodies, typically pale buff to pinkish-tan in color, with deeply decurrent gills running down the stipe. It is assessed as Least Concern, reflecting its wide distribution and occurrence across a variety of woodland habitats. The common funnel is a common and recognizable species in temperate forests throughout its range. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. As a saprotroph, it contributes to decomposition processes in forest ecosystems and is often found growing in arcs or rings in leaf litter and grassy clearings within woodland areas.
