Leratiomyces magnivelaris is a species of fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae. It has been found in St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, typically growing on coniferous wood debris, especially pine and spruce. In north-western Russia, it fruits from July to October, preferring moist, shaded areas with abundant organic matter. The species is characterized by its bright red to orange-red cap, 2-5 cm in diameter, and slender stem, 3-6 cm long.
Observations of Leratiomyces magnivelaris in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia revealed the fungus growing on various substrates, primarily mulch and wood chips, in Sosnovka Park, Saint Petersburg. The mushrooms were found on multiple occasions between July 2016 and May 2019, with sightings on specific dates including July 20, 21, August 8, 16, 2016, and May 27, 2017, as well as June 2, 2017, and May 11, 2019. The fungus was observed in various forms, including single mushrooms, groups, clusters, and masses, often on tree utilization sites or areas with wood chips and mulch. Close-up observations were also made to examine the mushroom's morphology. The consistent presence of Leratiomyces magnivelaris in Sosnovka Park suggests it is a common inhabitant of this environment, thriving on organic matter like mulch and wood chips.
