Extract from Wikipedia article: Lindbladia tubulina is a slime mould species from the order Liceida and the only member of its genus.
Lindbladia tubulina is a species of slime mold belonging to the class Mycetozoa. It is characterized by its tubular to cylindrical sporocarps, typically 1-3 mm in height, with a brownish-yellow to yellowish-brown color. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Lindbladia tubulina has been found on decaying wood, particularly on coniferous trees, as well as on mosses and other plant debris. The species is considered rare in the region, but its distribution is relatively widespread, with records from various forests, parks, and nature reserves.

Sporangies of slime mold Lindbladia tubulina(?) or may be Dictydiaethalium plumbeum in Sosnovka Park. Saint Petersburg, Russia, July 19, 2017Unnamed Road, Sankt-Peterburg, RussiaObservations of the species Lindbladia tubulina in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its presence in specific locations. In Sosnovka Park, Saint Petersburg, mature slime mold specimens were found on July 19, 2017, with characteristics suggesting either Lindbladia tubulina or Dictydiaethalium plumbeum. Further examination revealed sporangies of the same species, again with uncertain identification between Lindbladia tubulina and Dictydiaethalium plumbeum. These findings indicate that Lindbladia tubulina may be present in urban parks, such as Sosnovka Park, and potentially in other areas of Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia. The similarity in appearance to Dictydiaethalium plumbeum highlights the need for careful identification to confirm the presence of Lindbladia tubulina in this region. Additional observations are necessary to fully understand the distribution and habitat preferences of this species.
