Amyloporia sinuosa is a rare polypore fungus found on coniferous trees, particularly spruce and fir. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it grows on dead trunks and stumps of Picea abies. In north-western Russia, it is typically found in old-growth forests with high humidity and moderate temperatures, often fruiting from July to October. The fungus has a wavy to sinuous pore surface and ellipsoid to cylindrical spores, measuring 4-5 μm in length.

Pattern of a corticioid mushroom Amyloporia sinuosa (Antrodia sinuosa) on a fallen pine tree in Sosnovka Park. Saint Petersburg, Russia, March 27, 2017ul. Zhaka Dyuklo, 67, Sankt-Peterburg, Russia, 194214Observations of the fungus Amyloporia sinuosa in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia revealed its presence on fallen pine trees. The corticioid mushroom was found to have resupinate basidiocarps, indicating a growth habit where the fruiting body is flat and spread out against the substrate. The texture of the mushroom was observed, as well as its irregular pores, which are characteristic of this species. The pattern of the mushroom on the host tree was also noted, providing insight into its growth and development. These observations were made in Sosnovka Park, Saint Petersburg, Russia, on March 27, 2017, highlighting the presence of Amyloporia sinuosa in this region. The findings contribute to our understanding of the distribution and characteristics of this fungus in north-western Russia. Further study can build upon these observations to explore its ecological role.
