Hymenochaetopsis tabacina is a species of fungus that grows on dead wood, particularly willow and alder trees. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found in urban parks and forests, often on decaying logs and stumps. In north-western Russia, the fungus is widely distributed and can be found in various habitats, including riverbanks, wetlands, and coniferous forests. It typically fruits from June to October, producing small, brown to greyish-brown brackets with a velvety surface and white pores underneath. The fungus is relatively common in the region and plays a role in decomposing organic matter.
Observations of the fungus Hymenochaetopsis tabacina in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia revealed its presence on various willow species and fallen branches. The fungus was found in Sosnovka Park, Saint Petersburg, with a reddish-brown crust, and in areas near old brick factories between Pesochnaya and Dibuny, where it grew on willow bushes and trees. It was also spotted on Angliyskaya Alley in Pavlovsk, a suburb of Saint Petersburg, and near Shchuchye Lake in Komarovo, growing on fallen branches. The fungus was observed with moss on some occasions, and its crust form was noted on a fallen branch near Shchuchye Lake. Additionally, it was found in the area of Posiolok near Vyritsa, south of Saint Petersburg, on May 1, 2017. The observations spanned from December 31, 2016, to May 1, 2017.
