Clitocybe sudorifica is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Tricholomataceae. It is characterized by its small to medium-sized cap, typically 1-4 cm in diameter, with a convex to flat shape and a moist, smooth surface. The cap color ranges from grayish-brown to reddish-brown. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Clitocybe sudorifica has been found growing in association with coniferous trees, particularly spruce and pine, in moss-covered soils and humus-rich environments. Fruitings typically occur from late summer to early autumn, often in areas with high humidity and moderate temperatures. The species is considered rare in the region, but can be locally abundant in suitable habitats.
