It normally fruits in sandy soils under coniferous trees in spring and early summer. The fruiting body, or mushroom, is an irregular brain-shaped cap dark brown in colour that can reach 10 centimetres (4 inches) high and 15 cm (6 in) wide, perched on a stout white stipe up to 6 cm (2 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) high.
Collybia brunneocephala, also known as the brown blewit or brownit, is a species of gilled mushroom. [5] Previously designated Clitocybe brunneocephala, [2] the brownit and its lavender-colored cousin the wood blewit were reassigned to the genus Collybia in 2023.

Panaeolus olivaceus is a widely distributed, seldom identified, little brown mushroom that contains the hallucinogen psilocybin; it is often mistaken for Panaeolus foenisecii and is distinguished by its black spore print and darker gill coloration when mature alongside a slightly thicker stem.
Panaeolus foenisecii, commonly called the mower's mushroom, haymaker, haymaker's panaeolus, [2] or brown hay mushroom, is a very common and widely distributed little brown mushroom often found on lawns and is not an edible mushroom. In 1963 Tyler and Smith found that this mushroom contains serotonin, 5-HTP and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid. [3]

[1] The mushroom is commonly known as the "Veiled Panus". [1] The snuff brown gills of young specimens are covered with a buff white ephemeral partial veil that may be absent in older specimens.
Xerocomus subtomentosus was first described in 1753 by the father of taxonomy Carl Linnaeus as Boletus subtomentosus. [1] The starting date of fungal taxonomy had been set as January 1, 1821, to coincide with the date of the works of the 'father of mycology', Swedish naturalist Elias Magnus Fries, which meant that the name required sanction by Fries (indicated in the name by a colon) to be ...
