AI-generated description

Buchwaldoboletus lignicola is a species of fungus that grows on coniferous wood, particularly spruce and pine. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found in forests and parks, typically fruiting from July to October. In north-western Russia, the fungus is widespread and can be found in various habitats, including boreal forests and wooden construction sites. The species is characterized by its small to medium-sized cap, which is initially yellow-brown and later becomes reddish-brown, and its tubes and pores that are yellow when young and turn blue-green with age.

AI-generated summary of observations

In Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia, observations of Buchwaldoboletus lignicola have been recorded. A young, rusty brown mushroom was found at the base of a larch tree in Lesnoy Park, Saint Petersburg, on July 30, 2017. This specimen was parasitic on Ph. schweinitzii. Dissection of the young mushroom revealed its internal structure. The observations suggest that Buchwaldoboletus lignicola can be found in this region, specifically in association with larch trees and potentially forming parasitic relationships with other fungi like Ph. schweinitzii. These findings provide insight into the habits and habitats of this fungus species in north-western Russia. Further study is needed to fully understand its distribution and behavior in the area. The recorded observations contribute to a better understanding of the mycological diversity in Leningrad Oblast and surrounding regions.
