Russian name: Asterodon rzhavchinnyy.
Asterodon ferruginosus is a rare fungus that grows on coniferous trees. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found on pine and spruce trees, typically in old-growth forests with high humidity. In north-western Russia, the fungus is distributed sporadically, often associated with moss-covered trunks and branches. Its fruiting bodies are small, ferruginous-brown, and appear as tiny, rounded projections on the host tree's bark.
