Extract from Wikipedia article: Mycetinis scorodonius (syn. Marasmius scorodonius) is one of the garlic-scented mushrooms formerly in the genus Marasmius, having a beige cap of up to 3 cm and a tough slender stipe.
Mycetinis scorodonius is a small, delicate fungus that grows on moss, ferns, and other vegetation. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically fruits in summer to early autumn, often in shaded, humid areas with rich soil. The fungus has been found in forests, parks, and along streams, where it forms small, white to pale yellowish mushrooms with a strong garlic odor. Local records indicate that Mycetinis scorodonius is not uncommon in the region, particularly in areas with abundant moss cover and high humidity.
