Mycena strobilicola is a small, bell-shaped fungus that grows on conifer cones, particularly spruce and fir. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it has been found in coniferous forests, often on fallen or decomposing cones. The cap is typically 0.5-2 cm in diameter, conical to bell-shaped, and grayish-brown to reddish-brown in color. The gills are crowded, narrowly attached, and whitish to pale gray. The stem is slender, hairy, and the same color as the cap. Fruitings occur from summer to autumn, often in moist, shaded areas.
