Extract from Wikipedia article: Inocybe geophylla, commonly known as the earthy inocybe, common white inocybe or white fibercap, is a poisonous mushroom of the genus Inocybe. It is widespread and common in Europe and North America, appearing under both conifer and deciduous trees in summer and autumn. The fruiting body is a small all-white or cream mushroom with a fibrous silky umbonate cap and adnexed gills. An all-lilac variety lilacina is also common.
Inocybe geophylla is a small to medium-sized fungus with a conical to bell-shaped cap that ranges in color from white to pale brown. It has a slender stem and gills that are initially white, turning pinkish-brown with age. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Inocybe geophylla is typically found in woodland edges, clearings, and along roadsides, often associated with coniferous or mixed forests, particularly those dominated by pine, spruce, or birch. Fruiting bodies usually appear from July to September, with a peak in August. The species is considered common in the region, but can be easily overlooked due to its small size and inconspicuous appearance.
