Clitocybe robusta is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Tricholomataceae. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically grows in coniferous and mixed forests, often forming mycorrhizal relationships with trees such as spruce and pine. The cap is 4-10 cm in diameter, convex to flat, and grayish-brown to brown in color. The gills are decurrent, crowded, and whitish to pale gray. The stem is 3-7 cm tall and 1-2 cm thick, stout, and equal in width. Fruitings occur from July to October, with peak abundance in August and September.

Professora Popova, 2к1, Sankt-Peterburg, Russia, 197022Observations of Clitocybe robusta in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its presence in various regions. The species has been spotted in the Botanic Gardens of Komarov Botanical Institute in Saint Petersburg, Russia, where robust funnelcap mushrooms were displayed on a mushroom show on October 1, 2016. This sighting suggests that Clitocybe robusta is present in urban areas and can thrive in cultivated environments. Further observations are needed to determine its distribution and abundance in the region. The species' habitat preferences and associated plant species are also unknown, requiring additional research to fully understand its ecology in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia. More data on its fruiting patterns and potential interactions with other organisms would provide valuable insights into the biology of Clitocybe robusta in this region. Its presence in the area may indicate a wider distribution range than previously thought.
