AI-generated summary of observations

Observations of the fungus Gymnopilus picreus in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its growth habits and habitats. The species was found growing on rotten wood near Orekhovo, approximately 40 miles north of Saint Petersburg, in August and September 2016. It was also observed in moss near Orekhovo during the same period. Additionally, the fungus was spotted in Pavlovsk Park, specifically in the area of New Sylvia, a suburb of Saint Petersburg, in late September 2016. Further observations were made near Pesochnaya, north-west of Saint Petersburg, in July 2017, where dissected specimens were found. These sightings suggest that Gymnopilus picreus can thrive in various environments, including decaying wood and moss, in the region's temperate climate. The fungus appears to be relatively common in the area, with multiple observations recorded over a two-year period.
