Lederblasses Samthäubchen

Conocybe siliginea is a small, delicate mushroom characterized by its cinnamon-brown conical cap and slender stipe with a ring. It grows on nutrient-rich soil, lawns, and grassy areas across Europe and North America. This saprotrophic fungus decomposes organic matter in the soil, often appearing after rainfall in late spring and summer.
