Extract from Wikipedia article: Cheilymenia granulata is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae.
Cheilymenia granulata is a species of fungus in the family Pyronemataceae. It is a small, disc-shaped ascocarp with a granular outer surface, typically 0.5-2 mm in diameter. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found growing on soil, dung, and decaying plant material, often in moist, shaded areas. In north-western Russia, it is considered a rare species, with limited records from the regions of Murmansk, Arkhangelsk, and Vologda. Fruitings typically occur in late summer to early autumn.
