Extract from Wikipedia article: Cantharellopsis is a tan- to whitish-colored bryophilous monotypic genus in the Hymenochaetales. The fruit bodies of the single species Cantharellopsis prescotii has a form intermediate between an Omphalina and a chanterelle (Cantharellus) because of its forked, fold-like gills. It inhabits moss on calcareous soils in temperate regions of Europe. Phylogenetically related agarics are in the genera Contumyces, Gyroflexus, Loreleia, Rickenella and Blasiphalia, as well as the stipitate-stereoid genera Muscinupta and Cotylidia and the clavarioid genus, Alloclavaria.
Cantharellopsis prescotii is a rare fungus species found in northern Europe. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically grows on mosses and other non-vascular plants in shaded, humid areas. Records from north-western Russia indicate the fungus often occurs in coniferous forests, particularly in spruce and fir tree habitats, where it can be found fruiting from July to September.
