Pholiota mixta

A slimy-capped Pholiota of northern coniferous forest, described by Fries as Agaricus mixtus and long known as Flammula filia. Most of its 887 wild GBIF records are from Sweden, Norway and Finland, with smaller numbers from Britain, Russia, Canada and the Alps. It fruits in autumn on the ground among needles, where buried wood lies.
