AI-generated summary of observations

Observations of Gloeoporus pannocinctus in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal that the fungus grows on rotten wood, particularly logs. On September 3, 2017, near Kuzmolovo, young and immature stages of the gelatinous green porecrust fungus were observed. The fungus was found on multiple rotten logs in the area, with close-up observations showcasing its texture and color. The sightings suggest that Gloeoporus pannocinctus thrives in damp environments, decomposing wood in the region. Multiple observations on the same day indicate a possible abundance of the species in the area, highlighting the importance of further study to understand its distribution and habits in north-western Russia. The fungus's gelatinous appearance and green color were consistently noted across different sightings.
