Extract from Wikipedia article: Tricholoma portentosum, commonly known as the charbonnier, or sooty head in North America, is a grey-capped edible mushroom of the large genus Tricholoma. It is found in woodlands in Europe and North America.
Tricholoma portentosum is a species of mushroom found in northern Europe, including north-western Russia. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically grows in coniferous forests, especially with spruce and pine, from late summer to autumn. The cap is 3-8 cm in diameter, gray-brown to dark brown, often with a distinctive umbo, and the gills are white to pale yellow. It has a strong, earthy odor and taste. Local records show it to be relatively common in the region's forests, often fruiting in association with mosses and other fungi.

Additionally, groups of coalman mushrooms were observed growing together, as seen on September 28, 2017, near Dibuny. These findings suggest that Tricholoma portentosum is relatively common in this region and can be found in similar habitats during the fall season.
