AI-generated description

Clitocybe gibba is a species of funnel-cap mushroom that grows in clusters on the ground in wooded areas. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically fruits from July to October, preferring moist, fertile soils under coniferous and deciduous trees. In north-western Russia, C. gibba is commonly found in similar habitats, including mossy spruce forests and birch woodlands, often in association with litter and humus-rich substrates. The cap is 3-8 cm in diameter, funnel-shaped, and wavy, with a smooth, slimy surface that ranges from yellow-brown to grey-brown in color. The gills are decurrent, crowded, and pale yellowish.
