Extract from Wikipedia article: Glutinoglossum glutinosum, commonly known as the viscid black earth tongue or the glutinous earthtongue, is a species of fungus in the family Geoglossaceae (the earth tongues). Widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, it has been found in northern Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. Although previously thought to exist in Australasia, collections made from these locations have since been referred to new species. G. glutinosum is a saprophytic species that grows on soil in moss or in grassy areas. The smooth, nearly black, club-shaped fruitbodies grow to heights ranging from 1.5 to 5 cm (0.6 to 2.0 in). The head is up to 0.7 cm (0.3 in) long, and the stipes are sticky. Several other black earth tongue species are quite similar in external appearance, and many can be reliably distinguished only by examining differences in microscopic characteristics, such as spores, asci, and paraphyses. First described in 1796 as a species of Geoglossum, the fungus has gone through several changes of genera in its taxonomic history. It was placed in its current genus, Glutinoglossum, in 2013.
Glutinoglossum glutinosum is a species of fungi in the family Geoglossaceae. It is a small to medium-sized fungus with a gelatinous, tongue-like or club-shaped cap that is typically 1-4 cm tall and 0.5-2 cm wide. The cap is usually brown to dark brown, often with a lighter-colored tip, and has a sticky or slimy surface. The stem is similar in color to the cap and is also sticky or slimy. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Glutinoglossum glutinosum typically grows on soil, moss, or decaying wood in coniferous and mixed forests, often in areas with rich soil and high humidity. It fruits from summer to autumn, usually in late July to early October. The fungus is not commonly encountered, but can be found in suitable habitats, particularly in the vicinity of St. Petersburg and in the Leningrad Oblast's nature reserves and national parks.
