AI-generated description

Lichenomphalia hudsoniana is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Hygrophoraceae. It is a small to medium-sized omphaloid mushroom with a waxy cap and decurrent gills. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found growing in moist, acidic environments, such as bogs, marshes, and coniferous forests. In north-western Russia, it is considered a rare species, typically fruiting in late summer to early autumn. Records from the region indicate that it often associates with sphagnum mosses and other acidic-loving plant species.
