Extract from Wikipedia article: Hebeloma crustuliniforme, commonly known as poison pie or fairy cakes, is a gilled mushroom of the genus Hebeloma found in Europe and North America, and has been introduced into Australia. Its specific name derives from the Latin crustulum or little biscuit. It is moderately poisonous.
Hebeloma crustuliniforme is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Hymenogastraceae. It is a small to medium-sized mushroom with a bell-shaped to convex cap, typically 2-5 cm in diameter, and a slender stem. The cap is often reddish-brown to yellowish-brown, while the gills are pale yellow to cream-colored. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Hebeloma crustuliniforme is commonly found in deciduous and mixed forests, particularly under birch, beech, and oak trees. It fruits from late summer to early autumn, often in association with mosses and other vegetation. The species is considered widespread and relatively common in the region, although its distribution can be patchy and dependent on specific habitat conditions.
In Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia, Hebeloma crustuliniforme was observed in various locations, including near Kavgolovo Lake and Sosnovka Park in Saint Petersburg. The fungus was found growing in moss and swamps, often in association with other mushroom species such as Cortinarius, Laccaria proxima, and Amanita fulva. Observations were made over several years, from 2016 to 2018, with multiple sightings in September. The fungus was also spotted near Lisiy Nos, west of Saint Petersburg, in 2018. In Sosnovka Park, Hebeloma crustuliniforme was found alongside a diverse range of species, including Mycena megaspora, Galerina triscopa, and Leccinum holopus. The observations suggest that Hebeloma crustuliniforme is widespread in the region and can be found in a variety of habitats.
