Scutellinia crucipila is a species of fungus in the family Pyronemataceae. It is a small, cup-shaped fungus with a cruciform or cross-like pattern on its lid. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found growing on moist soil, decaying wood, and other organic matter. In north-western Russia, it typically fruits in spring and early summer, often in association with coniferous forests and mossy habitats. Records from the region indicate that Scutellinia crucipila is relatively rare but widespread, with sightings reported in various locations, including forests, parks, and nature reserves.

Cup mushrooms Scutellinia crucipila(?) on burnt ground in near Oselki, north from Saint Petersburg. Russia, August 9, 2017Unnamed Road, Oselki, Leningradskaya oblast', Russia, 188665Observations of Scutellinia crucipila in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal that the fungus grows in various environments. It was found on soil in Lembolovo, 40 miles north of Saint Petersburg, in July 2017, and on wet soil on roads in the same area in both July and August 2017. The fungus also thrived on burnt soil and ground near Oselki, north of Saint Petersburg, in August 2017. The observations suggest that Scutellinia crucipila can tolerate different substrates, including wet and burnt areas. The fungus was consistently found in the same general region, indicating a possible preference for the local climate and conditions. The repeated sightings in Lembolovo and Oselki imply that Scutellinia crucipila may be relatively common in these areas during the summer months.
