Extract from Wikipedia article: Tricholoma ustale, commonly known as the burnt knight, is a species of mushroom in the large genus Tricholoma. It is found in Asia, Europe, and North America, though those from North America may represent one or more different species.
Tricholoma ustale is a species of mushroom that grows in association with coniferous trees. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically fruits from August to October in pine and spruce forests. The cap is 3-6 cm in diameter, grayish-brown to dark brown, and often has a distinctive umbo. The gills are pale grayish-brown, and the stem is similar in color to the cap. It is considered an edible mushroom, but not highly valued due to its bitter taste.

The discovery of this species in the region contributes to a better understanding of the mycological diversity of north-western Russia. Observations like these can inform about the ecology and conservation of fungal species.
