Coltricia perennis is a perennial polypore fungus that grows on the ground in coniferous and mixed forests. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically fruits from July to October, often in association with spruce and pine trees. In north-western Russia, it is commonly found in moss-covered areas and sandy soils, forming mycorrhizal relationships with surrounding tree species. The fungus has a circular to irregularly shaped cap, 2-8 cm in diameter, with a rough, velvety surface and a stout, hairy stem. Its distribution in the region is widespread, but it tends to be more abundant in areas with acidic soils and high levels of rainfall.
