Amylocorticium subincarnatum is a species of fungus in the family Amylocorticiaceae. It is a resupinate fungus that grows on decaying wood, typically in coniferous forests. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found on spruce and pine logs, often in moist areas with rich vegetation. In north-western Russia, it is considered a rare species, but can be found in similar habitats, including old-growth forests and forest edges, where it plays a role in decomposing organic matter.

Zhaka Dyuklo, 67, Sankt-Peterburg, Russia, 194214Observations of the fungus Amylocorticium subincarnatum in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia revealed its presence on a rotten pine stump in Sosnovka Park, Saint Petersburg. The fungus displayed a golden corticioid appearance, with a notable texture that was visible upon closer inspection. A close-up examination of the fungus on the pine stump showed its distinctive features in detail. The observations were made on August 14, 2017, suggesting that the fungus is active during this time of year in the region. The specific location and substrate, a rotten pine stump, indicate that Amylocorticium subincarnatum may have a preference for decaying coniferous wood in this part of Russia. These findings contribute to our understanding of the habitat and distribution of this fungus species. Further studies can build on these observations to explore its ecological role.
