Chrysomphalina grossula is a species of fungus that grows on mosses and other non-vascular plants. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found in coniferous forests, particularly on Sphagnum mosses. In north-western Russia, it is typically encountered in humid, acidic environments with abundant moss cover, often fruiting from late summer to early autumn. The fungus produces small, orange-yellow cups with a hairy exterior and smooth interior, containing yellowish spores. It is considered a rare species in the region, but can be locally common in suitable habitats.
