AI-generated description

Inocybe calamistrata is a species of mushroom in the family Inocybaceae. It has a conical to bell-shaped cap that is 1-3 cm in diameter, initially yellowish-brown to brown, and later becoming more greyish-brown. The gills are crowded, narrow, and pale brown to greyish-brown. The stem is slender, cylindrical, and the same color as the cap. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found in mixed forests, particularly under birch and spruce trees. In north-western Russia, it typically fruits from July to September, preferring moist, acidic soils with abundant leaf litter.

AI-generated summary of observations

In Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia, observations of the fungus Inocybe calamistrata have been recorded. Specifically, on July 26, 2017, fibrecap mushrooms with scales, identified as Inocybe calamistrata(?), were found in a pine forest near Kuzmolovo, located north of Saint Petersburg. The habitat suggests that the species thrives in coniferous environments, potentially indicating a symbiotic relationship with pine trees. Further observations are needed to confirm the identity and distribution of Inocybe calamistrata in this region. The presence of scales on the cap is a notable characteristic, which may aid in identification and differentiation from other Inocybe species. Continued monitoring of this species in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia can provide valuable insights into its ecology and conservation status. The specific location and date of observation highlight the importance of detailed record-keeping in mycological research.
