Extract from Wikipedia article: Hypholoma lateritium, sometimes called brick cap, is rarer and less well-known than its relatives, the inedible, and poisonous sulfur tuft (Hypholoma fasciculare) and the edible Hypholoma capnoides. Its fruiting bodies are generally larger than either of these. Hypholoma sublateritium is a synonym.
Hypholoma lateritium is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Hymenogastraceae. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically grows in clusters on stumps, logs, and other decaying wood, especially coniferous trees. The cap is 3-6 cm in diameter, brick-red to reddish-brown, and often has a distinctive umbo. The gills are crowded, pale yellowish-green, and attached to the stem. The stem is 3-7 cm tall, 0.5-1.5 cm thick, and fibrous. It fruits from July to November, with peak activity in August and September. The species is common in the region's mixed and coniferous forests, and can be found in various habitats, including urban parks and woodland edges.
