Description
Russian conecap can easily be identified by its unique habitat. It is commonly found growing on pinecones that are either lying on the ground or partially buried. For this reason, this mushroom is commonly known as the "pine cone cap." Its lack of a ring on the cap also makes it easy to identify from similar species.
