Extract from Wikipedia article: Cantharellula umbonata is an edible species of fungus in the genus Cantharellula native to eastern North America. It is associated with Polytrichum moss and fruits in the summer and fall.
Cantharellula umbonata is a small to medium-sized, funnel-shaped fungus with a wavy or wrinkled cap, typically 1-4 cm in diameter, and a slender stem. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it is found in coniferous forests, often associated with spruce and pine trees. In north-western Russia, it fruits from July to October, preferring moist, acidic soils and shaded areas. The fungus is widely distributed in the region, including the Karelian Isthmus and the Valdai Hills.
