Extract from Wikipedia article: Cortinarius collinitus is a species of fungi in the family Cortinariaceae.
Cortinarius collinitus is a small to medium-sized agaric fungus with a bell-shaped to convex cap that is 1-4 cm in diameter, reddish-brown to clay-colored, and often has a slightly wrinkled or veined appearance. The gills are adnate to emarginate, moderately spaced, and rust-brown to cinnamon-colored. The stipe is slender, 2-6 cm long, and 0.2-0.5 cm thick, with a fibrillose surface. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Cortinarius collinitus typically grows in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with spruce, pine, or birch trees, from late summer to early autumn. It is considered a relatively rare species in the region.
Observations of Cortinarius collinitus were made in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia on several occasions. The fungus was found near Orekhovo, north of Saint Petersburg, on August 13, 15, and 17, 2016, with some specimens resembling C. mucosus or C. stillatitius. Additional sightings occurred near Kavgolovskoe Lake in Toksovo, Dibuny, and Shchuchye Lake in Komarovo, west of Saint Petersburg. The fungus was also spotted on a slope of Istok Lake in Kannelyarvi, 45 miles north of Saint Petersburg, on August 11, 2017. Another observation was made near Orekhovo on September 9, 2016, and near Shchuchye Lake on September 6, 2017. The sightings suggest that Cortinarius collinitus is present in the region, often in association with other similar species. The observations were made during the summer and early fall months, indicating a possible seasonal pattern.
