Extract from Wikipedia article: Laxitextum bicolor is a plant pathogen fungus. It is inedible.
Laxitextum bicolor is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Hericiaceae. It is characterized by its effused to reflexed basidiocarps with a two-colored appearance, featuring a white to cream upper surface and a brown to reddish-brown lower surface. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Laxitextum bicolor has been found growing on decaying wood, typically in coniferous forests, particularly on spruce and fir logs. The fungus is relatively rare in the region, but can be encountered in areas with rich fungal diversity, such as the forests of the Karelian Isthmus and the Valdai Hills.
