The conifer tuft is native to Central Europe.
Important information on this mushroom: there are several wild mushrooms with a similar appearance which are not edible, such as the brick cap (Hypholoma lateritium) or the sulphur tuft (Hypholoma fasciculare). They have green or yellow lamellae (or gills) and should not be eaten!
The conifer tuft grows well on stumps of spruce or pine, and occasionally beech too and can also be used to decompose coniferous stumps in the garden. it is also possible to inoculate Douglas fir.
