Extract from Wikipedia article: Hydnellum suaveolens is an inedible fungus often found beneath conifers. It has a funnel-shaped cap that is typically between 5–15 cm (2–6 in) in diameter. As its name suggests, it has a strong odor of anise or peppermint.
Hydnellum suaveolens is a species of fungi that belongs to the family Bankeraceae. It is characterized by its reddish-brown to dark brown cap, white to light brown spines, and strong, sweet, or fruity odor. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically grows in coniferous forests, particularly under pine trees, from July to October. In north-western Russia, it is found in similar habitats, often in association with Pinus sylvestris, and can be abundant in some areas, such as the Karelian Isthmus and the Vytegra District.
