Extract from Wikipedia article: Gomphidius roseus, commonly known as the rosy spike-cap or pink gomphidius, is a gilled mushroom found in Europe. Although it has gills, it is a member of the order Boletales, along with the boletes. It is a coral pink-capped mushroom which appears in pine forests in autumn, always near the related mushroom Suillus bovinus, on which it appears to be parasitic.
Gomphidius roseus is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Gomphidiaceae. It has a pinkish to reddish-brown cap, 3-8 cm in diameter, and a stipe of similar color. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically grows in coniferous forests, particularly under pine trees, from July to September. In north-western Russia, Gomphidius roseus is found in similar habitats, often forming mycorrhizal associations with pine roots. The fungus is considered rare in the region, but can be locally abundant in suitable areas.

Rosy spike-cap mushrooms (Gomphidius roseus) growing together with Jersey cow mushrooms (Suillus bovinus) between Orekhovo and Lembolovo, north from Saint Petersburg. Russia, September 28, 2016Unnamed Road, Leningradskaya oblast', RussiaObservations of Gomphidius roseus in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its growth habits and associations with other species. In August 2016, the fungus was found growing in moss near Orekhovo, often alongside dark-capped mushrooms. Similar observations were made on August 17, 2016, in the same area, suggesting a consistent presence during this time. Later, on September 28, 2016, Gomphidius roseus was observed growing together with Suillus bovinus between Orekhovo and Lembolovo, indicating a possible symbiotic relationship or shared habitat preference. These sightings provide insight into the fungus's ecological niches and potential interactions with other fungal species in the region. The observations span several weeks, suggesting that Gomphidius roseus has a relatively long fruiting season in this area.
