AI-generated description

Cylindrobasidium evolvens is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Cylindrobasidiaceae. It is characterized by its cylindrical basidia and thin-walled, smooth spores. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Cylindrobasidium evolvens has been found growing on decaying wood, particularly on coniferous trees such as spruce and pine. It typically fruits in late summer to early autumn, forming resupinate or effused-reflexed basidiocarps with a pale yellow to buff-colored hymenium. The fungus is considered rare in the region, but can be locally common in areas with abundant decaying coniferous wood.

AI-generated summary of observations

Cylindrobasidium evolvens was observed growing on various substrates in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia. The fungus formed crusts on fallen trees, stumps, and cut wood, often with a purple or bumpy texture. It was found in different habitats, including Yuntolovsky Park, Sosnovka Park, and spruce forests near Dibuny and Lisiy Nos. The observations showed that Cylindrobasidium evolvens can grow on birch leaves, peat, and tree bark, and can co-occur with other fungi, such as Merismodes anomala. The fungus was observed at different times of the year, from March to May, and its growth patterns varied, including spreading, crust-like, and bumpy textures. Overall, Cylindrobasidium evolvens appears to be a common species in the region, with a wide range of substrates and habitats.
