AI-generated description

Rhodocollybia butyracea is a small to medium-sized agaric fungus with a butter-yellow to golden-brown cap and white to pale yellow gills. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically grows in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with spruce, pine, or birch trees. Fruiting bodies usually appear from July to October, preferring moist, acidic soils with abundant leaf litter and moss cover. The species is considered widespread but not particularly common in the region, with scattered records from various nature reserves, parks, and forest areas.
