Extract from Wikipedia article: Agaricus silvicola, also known as the wood mushroom, is a species of Agaricus mushroom related to the button mushroom.
Agaricus sylvicola is a species of mushroom that grows in coniferous and mixed forests. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically fruits from July to October, preferring moist soils and association with trees such as spruce, pine, and birch. The cap is 3-7 cm in diameter, bell-shaped to convex, and brown to reddish-brown, while the stem is 4-8 cm tall and 0.5-1.5 cm thick, with a ring that is often fragile and soon disappears. The flesh is white, turning slightly pink when bruised, and the spores are chocolate-brown. It is considered a rare species in the region, but can be found in suitable habitats, including parks and forests near St. Petersburg.
