Spread:
In spring and early summer, from early May to mid-June, in different forests, on paths, on the soil, on rotting plant remains and twig litter covered with white mycelium, according to the literature, it may be an “ammonia fungus” and synthesize nitrogen from ammonia urine, i.e. lives in places polluted by the urine of moose and other large animals, occurs in crowded groups, sometimes quite large, infrequently. As a rule, larger brownish limpets of Pseudombrophila crowded can be found next to the accumulations of Bissonectria.
