Extract from Wikipedia article: Climacocystis borealis is a species of poroid fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae.
Climacocystis borealis is a species of fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae. It is a brown rot fungus that grows on coniferous trees, particularly spruce and pine. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Climacocystis borealis has been found to be widely distributed, often occurring on dead or dying trees in forests and urban areas. The fungus produces annual growth layers and can form large, bracket-like fruiting bodies that are 5-20 cm in diameter. It is a common species in the region's coniferous forests, playing a role in decomposing wood and recycling nutrients.
Climacocystis borealis was observed in various locations in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia. In Lomonosov, it appeared as a poroid fungus with a soft light-yellow color on October 11, 2016. Later observations showed immature specimens on spruce stumps in Tarkhovka near Sestroretsk on August 27, 2018, and near Kavgolovskoe Lake on August 29, 2018. Young polypore mushrooms were found on a spruce near Lisiy Nos on September 1, 2018, and on a spruce stump in the same area. Further observations included immature mushrooms on a cut spruce stump near Lindulovskaya Larch Grove on September 4, 2018. The fungus was consistently associated with spruce trees or stumps, suggesting a specific substrate preference. The observations spanned late summer to early fall, indicating a possible fruiting period during this time.
