Clitopilus scyphoides is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Entolomataceae. It has been found in St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, typically growing in groups or clusters on soil, moss, or decaying wood in coniferous and mixed forests. In north-western Russia, it tends to fruit from July to October, with a preference for moist, shaded areas. The cap is 1-4 cm in diameter, convex to flat, and often wavy or lobed, with a pale brown to grayish-brown color. The gills are pinkish-gray to brown, and the stipe is slender, cylindrical, and similar in color to the cap.
Observations of the fungus Clitopilus scyphoides in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia revealed its presence in various locations. The mushroom was found near the Gulf of Finland, specifically near Morskaya, 5 miles west of Saint Petersburg, on August 5, 2016. It was also spotted in a swamp in Kannelyarvi, 45 miles north of Saint Petersburg, on August 12, 2017, growing in moss. Similar sightings were recorded on roadsides near Dibuny and Lisiy Nos, west and northwest of Saint Petersburg, on August 25, 2018, and September 1, 2018, respectively. The fungus was characterized by its white, funnel-like appearance and distinctive gills, which were observed in multiple locations. These observations suggest that Clitopilus scyphoides is widely distributed in the region, inhabiting various environments, including swamps and roadsides.
