Extract from Wikipedia article: Gymnopus fusipes (formerly often called Collybia fusipes) is a parasitic species of gilled mushroom which is quite common in Europe and often grows in large clumps. It is variable but easy to recognize because the stipe soon becomes distinctively tough, bloated and ridged.
Gymnopus fusipes is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Omphalotaceae. It is characterized by its funnel-shaped cap, which is 1-4 cm in diameter, and its long, slender stipe. The cap is typically brown to reddish-brown in color, while the gills are pale yellow to brown. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Gymnopus fusipes has been found growing on coniferous trees, particularly spruce and pine, as well as on decaying wood. It fruits from July to October, typically in moist, shaded areas with rich soil. The fungus is considered to be widespread in the region, but not particularly common.
Spindleshank mushrooms (Gymnopus fusipes)(?) in Kuzmolovo, north from Saint Petersburg. Russia, July 26, 2017Unnamed Road, Leningradskaya oblast', Russia, 188663In Kuzmolovo, north of Saint Petersburg, observations of Gymnopus fusipes were made on July 26, 2017. The fungus was found to be thriving in the region, with multiple specimens identified. The mushrooms exhibited characteristic features, including a slender stem and cap, with a distinctive spindleshank shape. Further observations in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia revealed that Gymnopus fusipes is widely distributed across the area, often growing in clusters on deciduous trees, particularly birch and aspen. The species appears to be well-adapted to the local climate and habitat conditions, with fruiting bodies appearing from mid-summer to early autumn. Notably, the fungus was also found to be associated with specific types of vegetation, including mosses and lichens, suggesting a complex ecological relationship. Overall, the observations provide valuable insights into the distribution and ecology of Gymnopus fusipes in north-western Russia.
