Extract from Wikipedia article: Infundibulicybe gibba (also known as Clitocybe gibba) is a species of gilled mushroom which is common in European woods. In English it is sometimes known as the common funnel.
Clitocybe gibba is a species of funnel-cap mushroom that grows in clusters on the ground in wooded areas. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically fruits from July to October, preferring moist, fertile soils under coniferous and deciduous trees. In north-western Russia, C. gibba is commonly found in similar habitats, including mossy spruce forests and birch woodlands, often in association with litter and humus-rich substrates. The cap is 3-8 cm in diameter, funnel-shaped, and wavy, with a smooth, slimy surface that ranges from yellow-brown to grey-brown in color. The gills are decurrent, crowded, and pale yellowish.
Observations of Clitocybe gibba in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its presence in various locations. The fungus was found in Pavlovsk Park, Dubki Park, near Dibuny, Kavgolovskoe Lake, Lisiy Nos, Tarkhovka Park, Petiayarvi, and between Oselki and Toksovo. It grew in forests and parks, often in groups, from July to August. The mushroom was observed in 2016, 2017, and 2024, indicating its consistent presence in the region. In some cases, it was found alongside other species, such as Lepiota clypeolaria. The observations suggest that Clitocybe gibba is a common and widespread species in north-western Russia, particularly in areas near Saint Petersburg. Its growth patterns and habitats appear to be consistent across different locations and years.
