Extract from Wikipedia article: Ischnoderma resinosum is a species of fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae. Commonly known as the late fall polypore, resinous polypore, or benzoin bracket, this shelf mushroom is 7–25 cm (3–10 in) across, velvety, dark red/brown, aging black. Its spongy but tough, sweet smelling flesh exudes a red liquid when young. This fungus fruits on hardwood logs and stumps in late autumn. A widely distributed species, it has been recorded from Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America.
Ischnoderma resinosum is a perennial, bracket-like fungus that grows on deciduous trees, particularly birch and alder. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it is commonly found in urban parks and forests, often on stumps, logs, and living trees. The fungus produces fruiting bodies 5-20 cm wide, with a resinous, sticky upper surface and a porous underside. It is widely distributed in north-western Russia, including the Murmansk, Arkhangelsk, and Vologda Oblasts, where it grows in coniferous and mixed forests.

Resinous polypore mushroom (Ischnoderma resinosum) in Tarkhovka Park near Sestroretsk, west from Saint Petersburg. Russia, September 22, 2017Fedotovskaya Dorozhka, 27, Tarkhovka, Sankt-Peterburg, Russia, 197701Observations of Ischnoderma resinosum were made in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia. The fungus was found growing on various types of stumps, including oak, pine, and spruce. In Dubki Park, Sestroretsk, old caps of the mushroom were observed on an oak stump in April 2017. Later, in September 2017, young mushrooms were found north of Lembolovo, and further observations were made in Orekhovo, Lembolovo, and Lisiy Nos - Olgino areas. The mushrooms were often found growing on mossy stumps, and their caps were observed to be brown and resinous. The fungus was also found on pine stumps near railroad stops and train stations, suggesting it can thrive in a variety of environments. Overall, the observations suggest that Ischnoderma resinosum is widely distributed in the region and can grow on different types of substrate.
