AI-generated description

Mycena rosea is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Mycenaceae. It is characterized by its small to medium-sized cap, typically 1-3 cm in diameter, which is pinkish-red to reddish-brown in color and often has a slightly wavy or wrinkled margin. The gills are crowded, narrowly attached, and pale pink. The stem is slender, 2-5 cm tall, and colored similarly to the cap.

In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, Mycena rosea can be found growing in moist, shaded areas with rich soil, often near deciduous trees such as birch or aspen. It typically fruits from late summer to early autumn.

In north-western Russia, Mycena rosea is a relatively common species, particularly in the regions surrounding St. Petersburg and the Karelian Isthmus. It can be found in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and wetlands, often in association with mosses and other fungi. Local records indicate that it tends to thrive in areas with high humidity and moderate temperatures.
