Extract from Wikipedia article: Tricholomopsis decora is a species of gilled mushroom in the genus [[Tricholomopsis]. It occurs in North America and in Britain, and it grows in conifer forests.
Tricholomopsis decora is a species of fungus that grows on coniferous trees, particularly pine and spruce. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found in forests and parks, often associated with Scots pine and Norway spruce. In north-western Russia, it is widely distributed and can be found in various coniferous forests, including those dominated by pine, spruce, and fir. The fungus typically fruits from July to October, producing yellow to orange-yellow caps with white gills and a stout stem. It is considered an ectomycorrhizal species, forming symbiotic relationships with the roots of its host trees.
