Extract from Wikipedia article: Anthracobia macrocystis is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae.
Anthracobia macrocystis is a species of fungus in the family Pyronemataceae. It is characterized by its large, yellow to orange apothecia and ellipsoidal to cylindrical spores. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Anthracobia macrocystis has been found growing on soil, moss, and decaying plant material in coniferous and mixed forests. The fungus typically fruits in late summer to early autumn, with a preference for acidic, sandy soils and shaded to partially shaded habitats.
Observations of the fungus Anthracobia macrocystis in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its presence in various environments. The fungus was found growing near an old fireplace on a trail across a swamp in Yuntolovsky Park, as well as in moss on the same trail. It was also spotted near Kavgolovskoe Lake in Toksovo, growing on soil and burnt soil in Lembolovo, approximately 35 miles north of Saint Petersburg. Additionally, the fungus was observed on burnt ground and at a site of an old bonfire in Lembolovo. The observations were made between July 7 and August 8, 2017, suggesting that the fungus thrives in areas with burnt or charred soil, often near water sources or in moist environments. Its growth habits appear to be associated with disturbed or altered ecosystems.
