Extract from Wikipedia article: Albatrellus confluens is a species of fungus in the family Albatrellaceae. It is commonly referred to as Sheep Polypore.
Albatrellus confluens is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Albatrellaceae. It is characterized by its fan-shaped to semicircular cap, which is 2-8 cm in diameter, and its white to cream-colored pores. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Albatrellus confluens has been found growing on the ground in coniferous and mixed forests, typically in association with spruce, pine, and birch trees. Fruitings occur from July to October, with a peak in August and September. The fungus is considered rare in the region, but can be locally abundant in suitable habitats.

Terrestrial polypore fungus Albatrellus confluens near Kavgolovskoe Lake in Toksovo, north from Saint Petersburg. Russia, September 5, 2018Unnamed Road, Leningradskaya oblast', Russia, 188664Observations of Albatrellus confluens in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its presence in spruce forests. On August 15, 2016, the fungus was found near Kavgolovskoe Lake in Toksovo, north of Saint Petersburg. Another sighting occurred on October 1, 2017, near Komarovo, approximately 25 miles north-west of Saint Petersburg. A subsequent observation took place on September 5, 2018, again near Kavgolovskoe Lake in Toksovo. These findings suggest that Albatrellus confluens is a terrestrial polypore fungus that inhabits spruce forests in the region, with multiple sightings in the same general area over a period of several years. The fungus appears to be relatively common in this part of Russia, with observations recorded in both summer and early fall. Its growth habits and preferred environments are consistent across these observations.
