AI-generated description

Tricholoma inamoenum is a species of fungus that grows in association with trees, particularly conifers. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it is found in pine and spruce forests, typically fruiting from August to October. The cap is 3-6 cm in diameter, grayish-brown to brown, and often has a distinctive umbo. The stem is white to pale yellow, and the flesh has a mild to slightly bitter taste. In north-western Russia, Tricholoma inamoenum is considered a rare species, but it can be locally abundant in suitable habitats, such as sandy soils and moss-covered forests.
