Extract from Wikipedia article: Baeospora myosura is a species of fungus that produces mushrooms with long, coarse hairs. It grows on plant material and manure. It is white to cream and the spore color is white, cream, or yellowish. It is commonly found in North America and Europe. The common name of the mushroom is conifercone cap. It was described in 1938 by mycologist Rolf Singer.
Baeospora myosura is a species of fungus that grows on mosses and other small plants. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it has been found to fruit in late summer to early autumn, typically in coniferous forests, especially those dominated by spruce or pine. The fungus produces small, yellowish-brown caps with a distinctive shape, often with a depressed center and wavy margins. It is considered a rare species in the region, but can be locally common in suitable habitats, such as moist areas with abundant moss growth.
