Extract from Wikipedia article: Cystodermella cinnabarina is a basidiomycete fungus of the genus Cystodermella. Its fruiting body is a small agaric bearing a distinctive reddish-coloured grainy cap. It occurs in coniferous and deciduous forests throughout the world. Prior to 2002, this species belonged to genus Cystoderma, subsection Cinnabarina, under the name Cystoderma cinnabarinum which is still sometimes applied. Another often used synonym is Cystoderma terreyi.
Cystodermella cinnabarina is a small to medium-sized fungus with a bright red to reddish-brown cap, white gills, and a slender stipe. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically grows in coniferous forests, especially with spruce and pine, from late summer to early autumn. The fungus is relatively rare in the region, but can be found in moist, acidic areas with abundant organic matter. Fruit bodies are usually solitary or scattered, reaching 1-4 cm in cap diameter.
