AI-generated summary of observations

Observations of the fungus Dacrymyces stillatus in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia revealed its presence on various substrates, including rotten branches, spruce stumps, logs, and tree trunks. The fungus was found in different locations, such as Lisiy Nos, Komarovo, Dibuny-Pesochny, Kavgolovskoe Lake, Tarkhovka Park, and Pavlovsk Park, all near Saint Petersburg. It was observed growing alone or in combination with other fungi, like whitish corticioid fungus. The sightings occurred during various months, including April, June, August, September, and October, suggesting a relatively long fruiting period. The fungus appeared as orange jelly spot mushrooms, often on decaying wood, indicating its saprotrophic nature. Multiple observations in the same areas over different years, such as in Lisiy Nos and Tarkhovka Park, suggest that Dacrymyces stillatus is a common species in the region.
