Malva alcea common in drier soils in thickets, along paths and in waste places. Natural hybrids with the closely related "Malva moschata" are occasionally found. In central Europe it grows at altitudes of up to 2,000 m. It has been widely grown outside of its native range as an ornamental plant. Several cultivars exist such as 'Fastigata', an upright form, and 'Alba', a white flowered form. In some areas, such as the northeastern United States, the plant has escaped from cultivation and become naturalised. It is very similar to, and often confused with "Malva moschata".

Mycena rosea Mycena rosea Mycena rosea, commonly known as the rosy bonnet, is a species of mushroom in the Mycenaceae family. First named "Agaricus roseus" in 1803 by Danish botanist Heinrich Christian Friedrich Schumacher, it was given its present name in 1912 by Gramberg. The cap initially has a convex shape before flattening; its diameter may reach up to . "Mycena sororius" is a closely related species that has been reliably distinguished from "M. rosea" by the electrophoretic migration of isozymes, as well as having larger spores—7.5–8.5 to 10 by 4.8–5.5 µm, compared to 6.5–9 by 4.5–5 µm for "M. rosea".
