Extract from Wikipedia article: Rickenella fibula or Omphalina fibula is a species of fungi that belongs to the genus Rickenella. The cap is quite small, with a diameter usually less than 1 centimetre (0.4 in).
Rickenella fibula is a small, orange-brown to reddish-brown fungus that grows on mosses, liverworts, and other fungi. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with sphagnum mosses. In north-western Russia, it is typically found in humid, shaded areas with rich vegetation, such as forest edges, stream banks, and bogs. The fungus fruits from summer to autumn, producing small, bell-shaped caps with a fibula-like (bundle of fibers) appearance on the stem. It is considered a rare species in the region, but can be locally common in suitable habitats.

Mosscap mushrooms Rickenella swartzii and Rickenella fibula in Tarkhovka near Sestroretsk, west from Saint Petersburg. Russia, August 27, 2018Observations of the fungus Rickenella fibula were made in various locations in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia. The mushroom was found growing in sphagnum moss near Kavgolovskoe Lake, as well as in other areas such as Sosnovka Park, Yuntolovsky Park, and along railroad paths in Toksovo. It was also observed in Tarkhovka near Sestroretsk, where it co-occurred with Rickenella swartzii. The fungus was typically found in small groups, often associated with other species such as Galerina paludosa and Pulvinula convexella. Observations were made from June to September, suggesting that the mushroom fruits during the summer months. Notably, some observations featured detailed views of the mushroom's cystidia, or outgrowths, which are characteristic of the species. Overall, Rickenella fibula appears to be a common and widespread species in the region.
