Bonomyces sinopicus is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Lyophyllaceae. It is characterized by its small to medium-sized fruiting bodies, which are typically yellow-brown to reddish-brown in color. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Bonomyces sinopicus has been found growing on coniferous trees, particularly spruce and pine, as well as on decaying wood and soil. The fungus is relatively rare in the region, but can be encountered in moist, shaded areas with rich organic matter.
Observations of Bonomyces sinopicus in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal that the fungus typically grows in sandy areas, often under pine trees. On June 14, 2017, and June 27, 2017, the mushrooms were found near Dibuny, west of Saint Petersburg, in roadside areas and pine forests. Similar findings were reported on July 23, 2017, near Pesochnaya, and on May 24, 2021, along Leninskaya Tropa Trail between Dibuny and Razliv Lake. The mushrooms were observed growing on sandy soil and roadsides, suggesting a preference for well-drained areas. Cross-section observations of the mushrooms were also made on May 24, 2021, providing further insight into their morphology. These sightings span multiple years, indicating that Bonomyces sinopicus is a relatively consistent presence in this region during the spring season.
