Gerronema strombodes is a species of fungus in the family Niaceae. It has been found in St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, typically growing on decaying wood, particularly coniferous trees. In north-western Russia, it is considered a rare species, with limited records of its occurrence. The fungus produces small to medium-sized fruiting bodies, characterized by a wavy or lobed cap and a short stalk.
Gerronema strombodes was observed near a stump in Dibuny, north-west of Saint Petersburg, on September 3, 2018. The mushrooms were found with distinct gills. Later observations were made in a dense forest near Solnechnoe, west of Saint Petersburg, on August 7, 2024, where the fungi grew near a summer house. A side view of the mushrooms was documented, showing their shape and size. Spores of Gerronema strombodes collected from Solnechnoe were examined on August 23, 2024. The observations suggest that Gerronema strombodes can thrive in various environments in Leningrad Oblast, including near stumps and in dense forests, indicating its adaptability to different ecological conditions. The documentation of spores provides further insight into the species' characteristics. These findings contribute to a better understanding of Gerronema strombodes in north-western Russia. The species appears to be widespread in the region.
