Extract from Wikipedia article: Hapalopilus nidulans (also known as Hapalopilus rutilans) is a species of polypore fungus in the family Polyporaceae. Officially described in 1821, it was transferred to its current genus Hapalopilus six decades later. It is commonly known as the tender nesting polypore, purple dye polypore, or the cinnamon bracket. This widely distributed species is found on five continents. It grows on the fallen or standing dead wood of deciduous trees, in which it fruits singly, in groups, fused, or in overlapping clusters. Fruit bodies are in the form of kidney-shaped to semicircular, cinnamon-orange-brown brackets. The underside of the fruit body features a yellowish to brownish pore surface with tiny angular pores, from which spores are released.
Hapalopilus rutilans is a rare polypore fungus. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it grows on deciduous trees, particularly willow and alder. In north-western Russia, it has been found in old-growth forests and along rivers, typically fruiting from July to September. The fungus is characterized by its reddish-brown to yellowish-brown cap and white to yellowish pores. It is considered a vulnerable species in the region due to habitat loss and degradation.
