Extract from Wikipedia article: Lactarius trivialis is a species of mushroom belonging to the genus Lactarius. The fungus is most commonly found around Great Britain and Ireland. The colour of the mushroom's cap can range from a light brown colour, to dark purple. The species has a total of five subtaxa. It was discovered and first recorded in the year 1838 by Elias Magnus Fries, in his book, Epicrisis Systematis Mycologici.
Lactarius trivialis is a small to medium-sized mushroom with a brownish-gray cap and white to pale yellow gills. It grows in association with birch and other deciduous trees. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically fruits from July to October in moist, acidic soils of coniferous and mixed forests. The species is relatively common in these regions, often found in areas with abundant birch and sphagnum moss. Its distribution is scattered, but it can be locally abundant in suitable habitats.
