AI-generated summary of observations

Observations of Pseudoclitocybe cyathiformis in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal that the fungus grows on discarded cut wood. In lower Sergievka Park, Old Peterhof, west of Saint Petersburg, the mushrooms were found on both fresh and rotten cut wood. On October 5, 2017, they were observed in two locations within the park, with a close-up examination providing detailed views of their characteristics. The fungus appears to thrive in this environment, suggesting a preference for decaying wood as a substrate. Further observations may be necessary to fully understand the habits and distribution of Pseudoclitocybe cyathiformis in this region. The presence of the fungus in multiple locations within the park indicates a potential widespread distribution in similar habitats throughout Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia.
