Extract from Wikipedia article: Hypholoma fasciculare, commonly known as the sulphur tuft, sulfur tuft or clustered woodlover, is a common woodland mushroom, often in evidence when hardly any other mushrooms are to be found. This saprophagic small gill fungus grows prolifically in large clumps on stumps, dead roots or rotting trunks of broadleaved trees.

AI-generated description

Hypholoma fasciculare is a species of fungi that grows in clusters on stumps, logs, and tree roots. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it is commonly found in urban parks and forests, particularly in areas with abundant deciduous trees. In north-western Russia, it thrives in temperate forests with rich soil and high humidity, often fruiting from July to November. The fungus has a distinctive appearance, with yellowish-brown caps and greenish-yellow gills, and can grow up to 6 cm in diameter. It is considered inedible due to its bitter taste and potential toxicity.
