Extract from Wikipedia article: Lepiota cristata, commonly known as the stinking dapperling or the stinking parasol, is an agaric and possibly poisonous mushroom in the family Agaricaceae. A common and widespread species—one of the most widespread fungi in the genus Lepiota—it has been reported from Europe, northern Asia, North America, and New Zealand. It fruits on the ground in disturbed areas, such as lawns, path and road edges, parks, and gardens. The species produces fruit bodies characterized by the flat, reddish-brown concentric scales on the caps, and an unpleasant odour resembling burnt rubber. Similar Lepiota species can sometimes be distinguished from L. cristata by differences in cap colour, stipe structure, or odour, although some species can only be reliably distinguished through the use of microscopy.
Lepiota cristata is a small to medium-sized agaric fungus with a bell-shaped cap, typically 1-4 cm in diameter, featuring a distinctive central umbo and radial grooves. The cap is often brown to reddish-brown with a lighter margin, while the gills are free, crowded, and white to cream-colored. Stems are slender, hollow, and usually taller than the cap diameter, with a ring or remnants of a ring present. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Lepiota cristata is commonly found in urban parks, gardens, and deciduous forests, particularly under trees like birch, aspen, and willow, from late summer to early autumn, with peak fruiting typically occurring in September. The species is considered widespread but not abundant in the region, with occasional records also reported from mossy areas, lawns, and along roadsides.

Russia, July 19, 2024Начало маршрута, Полянская дорога, Поляны, Лисий Нос, Санкт-Петербург, Северо-Западный федеральный округ, 189645, РоссияObservations of Lepiota cristata in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia indicate that the fungus grows in various locations, including Sosnovka Park and areas near Saint Petersburg. The mushrooms were found on multiple dates between August 2016 and July 2024, suggesting a relatively long fruiting period. Specific locations where the fungus was observed include south-west of Dibuny, Blizhnie Dubki area, and roadside areas near Lisiy Nos. The consistent presence of Lepiota cristata in these regions over several years implies that it is a common species in the area. The observations also suggest that the fungus can grow in different environments, including parks and roadside areas. The majority of observations were made in late summer, with some records from early September and one record from July 2024.
