Extract from Wikipedia article: Bogbodia is a bog-inhabiting agaric fungal genus that colonizes peat and Sphagnum and produces tan-colored fruit bodies. The only species in the genus is Bogbodia uda. Characteristically it forms chrysocystidia and rather large, finely roughened, violaceous basidiospores each with a poorly defined germ pore. The genus differs from Hypholoma which has smaller, smooth basidiospores and typically have cespitose fruit bodies and decay wood. Phylogenetically, Bogbodia is distinct from Hypholoma, Pholiota, and Leratiomyces.
Bogbodia uda is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Tremellaceae. It has been found in St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and other regions of north-western Russia, typically growing on decaying wood, particularly birch and alder trees. The fungus forms gelatinous, brain-like fruiting bodies that are yellowish-brown to dark brown in color, with a smooth or wrinkled surface. In north-western Russia, Bogbodia uda is considered a rare species, with most records coming from old-growth forests and areas with high levels of humidity.
Observations of the fungus Bogbodia uda in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its presence in various habitats. The species is found growing in moss near Dibuny, Vyritsa, and Orekhovo, often alongside other mushroom species such as Galerina hypnorum and Hypholoma elongatum. It also thrives on forest cuttings and in swamps, showcasing its adaptability to different environments. The mushrooms are observed to have a range of colors, including peat brown and pale hues. Multiple sightings were recorded in August 2017 and 2018, suggesting that the species is active during this time period in the region. The observations cover areas north-west and south of Saint Petersburg, indicating a relatively wide distribution of Bogbodia uda in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia.
