Küsten-Tanne
"Gomphidius glutinosus" is found in Eurasia and North America up to elevations of 9600 ft, and is generally abundant across its range. It occurs in autumn under various species of conifer—both in natural woods and plantations—such as balsam fir ("Abies balsamea"), norway spruce ("Picea abies") and grand fir ("Abies grandis"). The mushrooms may be single, scattered, or occasionally growing in clumps. Fruiting bodies sprout in the autumn, to as late as December in northern California.
