Crust of Gloeoporus taxicola (Meruliopsis taxicola) fungus on a fallen pine in Sosnovka Park. Saint Petersburg, Russia, April 4, 2017Unnamed Road, Sankt-Peterburg, RussiaObservations of Gloeoporus taxicola in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its presence on fallen pines. On April 4, 2017, the fungus was found on a fallen pine in Sosnovka Park, Saint Petersburg, with a visible crust formation. The fungus formed a distinct crust on the substrate, indicating its ability to thrive on decaying wood. Further observations in the region are likely to yield more information about its distribution and growth patterns. The specific habitat of fallen pines suggests that Gloeoporus taxicola may play a role in decomposing organic matter in these ecosystems. Additional studies could provide insights into its ecological significance and potential interactions with other organisms in the region. The recorded observations highlight the importance of continued monitoring and research on this species in north-western Russia. The fungus's growth and distribution patterns are worthy of further investigation.
