Cluster of whitish mushrooms Lepista subconnexa (Clitocybe subconnexa)(?) on a maple alley in Botanic Gardens of Komarov Botanical Institute. Saint Petersburg, Russia, September 30, 2017ulitsa Professora Popova, 1/6, Sankt-Peterburg, Russia, 197022In Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia, observations of Lepista subconnexa were made in the Botanic Gardens of Komarov Botanical Institute, Saint Petersburg. Young mushrooms were found under dry brunches on a maple alley in September 2017. Later that month, more mushrooms were discovered among timber litter on the same maple alley, including clusters of them. The mushrooms were often whitish in color and grew in groups. These observations suggest that Lepista subconnexa thrives in wooded areas with abundant organic matter, such as timber litter, and can form clusters under favorable conditions. The species was observed to fruit in late September, indicating a possible autumnal growth pattern in the region. The specific habitat of maple alleys in botanic gardens appears to be suitable for the growth of Lepista subconnexa.
