Extract from Wikipedia article: Phloeomana speirea, commonly known as the bark bonnet, is a species of fungus in the family Porotheleaceae. It is a bark-inhabiting agaric that produces fuscous-colored to whitish mycenoid to omphalinoid fruit bodies in temperate forests. The fungus was first described to science as Agaricus speireus by Elias Fries in 1815. Scott Redhead transferred it to the new genus Phloeomana in 2013, in which it is the type species.
Phloeomana speirea is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Ploettnerulaceae. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it has been found growing on decaying wood, particularly on alder and birch trees. The fungus produces small, delicate fruiting bodies with a pinkish-brown to reddish-brown cap and white gills. It is considered a rare species in the region, typically fruiting in late summer to early autumn.
