Extract from Wikipedia article: Bjerkandera fumosa is a species of poroid fungus in the family Meruliaceae.
Bjerkandera fumosa is a species of fungus in the family Hymenochaetaceae. It has been found in St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and other parts of north-western Russia, typically growing on decaying wood, especially coniferous trees. The fungus produces annual to biennial, resupinate to effused-reflexed fruiting bodies with a greyish-brown to dark brown hymenium. In the region, it is considered a rare species, often associated with old-growth forests and areas with high humidity.
Observations of Bjerkandera fumosa in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its presence in various locations. On February 18, 2017, the fungus was found on a dry place near Blizhnie Dubki, south of Saint Petersburg. Later, on March 12, 2017, it was observed on Nevskaya Lane in Smolenskoe Cemetery, Saint Petersburg, growing on trees and other surfaces. The fungus was seen in different forms, including polypore mushrooms, and appeared to thrive in the region's environment. Multiple sightings on the same day in Smolenskoe Cemetery suggest that Bjerkandera fumosa is widespread in this area. The observations provide insight into the habitat and distribution of this fungus in north-western Russia. The data highlights the fungus's ability to grow on various substrates, including trees and dry ground, in different locations within the region.
