AI-generated description

Hebeloma pseudoamarescens is a species of mushroom in the family Hymenogastraceae. It has been found in St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, typically growing in coniferous forests, often associated with spruce and pine trees. In north-western Russia, it fruits from late summer to early autumn, preferring moist, acidic soils with abundant organic matter. The fungus produces small to medium-sized caps, ranging from 2-6 cm in diameter, with a reddish-brown to yellowish-brown color, and a stipe of similar color, often with a fibrillose or scaly appearance.

AI-generated summary of observations

The observation of Hebeloma pseudoamarescens in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia revealed the presence of small brown mushrooms on a site of an old bonfire. Specifically, on June 16, 2017, the fungus was found on a roadside near Kavgolovskoe Lake in the area of Toksovo, north from Saint Petersburg, Russia. The location was characterized by being near a lake and having a history of human activity, as evidenced by the old bonfire site. This suggests that Hebeloma pseudoamarescens may thrive in areas with disturbed soil or nutrient-rich environments. Further observations are needed to confirm the identity of the species and understand its habitat preferences in this region. The discovery of this fungus in north-western Russia expands our knowledge of its geographic range and potential ecological niches. The roadside location may also indicate tolerance to human disturbance.
