Extract from Wikipedia article: Cortinarius flexipes is a fungus, specifically a mushroom, a small brown species in the genus Cortinarius. It is commonly known as the Pelargonium webcap because of its unusual smell of Pelargonium (the household "geranium").
Cortinarius flexipes is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Cortinariaceae. It has a brown cap and stipe, with a fibrillose to scaly surface, and grows in coniferous and mixed forests. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Cortinarius flexipes is typically found in sphagnum bogs, pine and spruce forests, often associated with Sphagnum mosses, from late summer to early autumn. The species is relatively common in the region, particularly in areas with acidic soils and high humidity.

The fungus was found growing on stumps, in moss, and in swamps from August to September. It co-occurred with other species such as Lactarius vietus, Leccinum holopus, Mycena megaspora, Galerina triscopa, Hebeloma crustuliniforme, Laccaria proxima, Amanita fulva, and other Cortinarius species. The fungus was observed in different stages of growth, with some specimens found in small groups while others were solitary. The observations suggest that Cortinarius flexipes is a common species in the region, particularly in swamps and moist areas, and can be found growing alongside a variety of other fungal species.
