Extract from Wikipedia article: Daedaleopsis confragosa, commonly known as the thin walled maze polypore or the blushing bracket, is a species of polypore fungus in the family Polyporaceae. A plant pathogen, it causes a white rot of injured hardwoods, especially willows. The fruit bodies are semicircular and tough, have a concentrically zoned brownish upper surface, and measure up to 20 cm (8 in) in diameter. The whitish underside turns gray-brown as the fruit body ages, but bruises pink or red. It is found all year and is common in northern temperate woodlands of eastern North America, Europe, and Asia. The species was first described from Europe in 1791 as a form of Boletus, and has undergone several changes of genus in its taxonomic history. It acquired its current name when Joseph Schröter transferred it to Daedaleopsis in 1888.

AI-generated description

Daedaleopsis confragosa is a polypore fungus that grows on deciduous trees, particularly willow, alder, and birch. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it is commonly found in urban parks and forests, often on fallen logs or stumps. In north-western Russia, the species is widely distributed, fruiting from June to October, with a peak in July and August. It typically grows solitary or in small groups, forming semicircular to fan-shaped caps with a wavy or lobed margin, and a poroid to daedaloid hymenophore.

AI-generated summary of observations

Observations of Daedaleopsis confragosa in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia revealed various growth forms and habitats. The fungus was found growing on dry branches of willow, hazelnut, and bird cherry, as well as on fallen trees. The mushrooms exhibited different shapes, including prostrate and upright forms, with varying cap sizes and gill structures. Some specimens showed zones on the cap, while others had old, worn-out caps. The observations were made in various locations, including Yuntolovsky Park, Botanic Gardens of Komarov Botanical Institute, and areas near Saint Petersburg, between March and October, over several years.
