Extract from Wikipedia article: Entoloma turci is a species of fungus found in Europe.
Entoloma turci is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Entolomataceae. It has been found in St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and other parts of north-western Russia, typically growing in moist, grassy areas and woodland edges. The fungus produces small to medium-sized fruiting bodies with conical to bell-shaped caps that are often pinkish-brown to greyish-brown in color, and gills that are initially pale pink and later become more intensely colored. Entoloma turci is considered a rare species in the region, with most records coming from late summer and early autumn.
Observations of the fungus Entoloma turci in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its presence in the region. On September 1, 2018, pinkgill mushrooms believed to be Entoloma turci were found near Lisiy Nos, west of Saint Petersburg. The mushrooms were observed in two locations: one group was found on the ground, while another group of mature specimens was discovered on a roadside. The sightings suggest that Entoloma turci may inhabit areas with disturbed soil or grassy verges, potentially tolerating human activity and infrastructure development. Further study is needed to confirm the identity of the species and understand its ecological preferences in this region. The observations provide valuable insights into the distribution and habitat of Entoloma turci in north-western Russia.
