AI-generated description

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.
