Extract from Wikipedia article: Xerocomellus pruinatus, commonly known as the matte bolete and formerly known as Boletus pruinatus or Xerocomus pruinatus, is a mushroom in the family Boletaceae native to Europe.
Xerocomellus pruinatus is a species of bolete fungus characterized by its small to medium size, reddish-brown to dark brown cap, and white or pale yellow pores. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically grows in association with birch and other deciduous trees, often found in moist, wooded areas and along forest edges. Fruitings usually occur from late summer to early autumn, with a preference for acidic soils and moderate humidity. The species is considered rare to occasional in the region, with scattered records from various locations, including urban parks and nature reserves.
