Extract from Wikipedia article: Phaeolepiota is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Phaeolepiota aurea. P. aurea, commonly known as golden bootleg or golden cap is a mushroom found throughout North America and Eurasia – often next to nettles.
Phaeolepiota aurea is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Agaricaceae. It is characterized by its golden-yellow to brown cap, 3-8 cm in diameter, with a fibrillose to scaly surface, and a stipe of similar color, 4-10 cm long and 0.5-1.5 cm thick. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Phaeolepiota aurea typically fruits in late summer to early autumn, often in groups or clusters, on soil, litter, or decaying wood in coniferous, deciduous, or mixed forests. The species is considered rare in the region, but can be found in areas with rich soil and moderate humidity, such as parklands, woodland edges, and along forest roads.
