Hyphoderma setigerum is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Meruliaceae. It is a resupinate fungus, meaning it grows flat on the surface of its substrate. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Hyphoderma setigerum has been found growing on dead wood, particularly on coniferous trees such as spruce and pine. The fungus produces small, setose (bristly) fruiting bodies that are white to cream-colored and have a smooth to tuberculate hymenium. It is a relatively common species in the region, often occurring in moist, shaded areas with rich vegetation.

Corticioid fungus Hyphoderma setigerum on a dry branch of hazelnut in Botanic Gardens of Komarov Botanical Institute. Saint Petersburg, Russia, March 17, 2017Aptekarskaya nab., 6, Sankt-Peterburg, Russia, 197022Observations of the fungus Hyphoderma setigerum were made in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia. The fungus was found growing on hazelnut in the Botanic Gardens of Komarov Botanical Institute in Saint Petersburg, Russia. On March 17, 2017, it was observed on a living hazelnut, as well as on a dry branch of hazelnut. The presence of Hyphoderma setigerum on both living and dead host material suggests that the fungus is a saprotroph, obtaining its nutrients from decaying organic matter. The observations in the Botanic Gardens indicate that the fungus can thrive in cultivated environments, highlighting its adaptability to different habitats. These findings contribute to our understanding of the ecology and distribution of Hyphoderma setigerum in north-western Russia. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of this fungus in the region's ecosystem. The fungus was identified as a corticioid species.
