Extract from Wikipedia article: Tricholomopsis rutilans, known by the unusual but apt common name of Plums and Custard or, less commonly Red-haired agaric, is a species of gilled mushroom found across Europe and North America.
Tricholomopsis rutilans 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 forested areas, often associated with Pinus sylvestris. In north-western Russia, it is widely distributed, fruiting from July to October, and preferring well-drained soils and full sun to partial shade. The fungus has a reddish-brown cap and white gills, and reaches sizes of up to 10 cm in diameter. It is considered a rare species in the region, but can be locally abundant in suitable habitats.

Plums and Custard mushrooms (Tricholomopsis rutilans) near Orekhovo, 40 miles north from Saint Petersburg. Russia, September 9, 2016Unnamed Road, Leningradskaya oblast', RussiaObservations of Tricholomopsis rutilans in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its presence in specific environments. The fungus was found growing near a rotten tree stump near Orekhovo, approximately 40 miles north of Saint Petersburg, on July 27, 2016. Another sighting occurred in the same area on September 9, 2016, indicating that the species can be found in this region during late summer to early fall. The fungus appears to thrive in areas with decaying wood, suggesting a saprotrophic relationship. The sightings in July and September suggest that Tricholomopsis rutilans has a relatively long fruiting period in this region, potentially spanning several months. These observations provide insight into the habitat preferences and seasonal patterns of this species in north-western Russia. The specific locations and timing of these sightings can inform further research on the ecology of Tricholomopsis rutilans.
