Melanophyllum haematospermum is a small to medium-sized fungus with a bell-shaped cap that ranges in color from reddish-brown to dark brown, often with a powdery coating. It has a slender stem and gills that are initially pale pink to reddish-brown, later becoming darker. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Melanophyllum haematospermum typically grows in fields, meadows, and along roadsides, often in areas with rich soil and abundant vegetation, particularly from late summer to early autumn.

Pinelitter gingertail mushrooms (Xeromphalina cauticinalis) together with Melanophyllum haematospermum on a mossy lawn near Akteon statue in New Sylvia in Pavlovsk Park. Pavlovsk, a suburb of Saint Petersburg, Russia, September 8, 2018Rozovopavil'onnaya Alleya, Pavlovsk, Sankt-Peterburg, Russia, 196621Observations of Melanophyllum haematospermum in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal that the fungus grows in rich soil on roadsides, often under linden trees. It was found near Lisiy Nos, west of Saint Petersburg, and in Pavlovsk Park, a suburb of Saint Petersburg. The mushrooms were observed growing alone or in groups, with bright pink gills. They were also found on mossy lawns, sometimes accompanied by other species such as Paxillus ammoniavirescens and Xeromphalina cauticinalis. The fungus appears to thrive in these environments, with multiple sightings recorded in September 2018. The observations suggest that Melanophyllum haematospermum is common in the region, particularly in areas with rich soil and linden trees.
