AI-generated summary of observations

In Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia, Loreleia marchantiae was observed in various locations. Near Dibuny, the fungus was found on liverworts in a roadside ditch and in a field on August 28, 2017. The mushrooms were also collected and examined up close, revealing details of their caps and gills. A year later, on August 23, 2018, the species was spotted on exposed soil near a burned site in Kuzmolovo, north of Saint Petersburg. The gills of the mushrooms were also observed at this location. The fungus appears to thrive in areas with moist soil and liverwort growth, and can be found in both disturbed and undisturbed habitats in the region. Observations suggest that Loreleia marchantiae is present in the area during late summer. Its distribution and abundance may be influenced by environmental factors such as soil moisture and liverwort availability.
