AI-generated summary of observations

Observations of Multiclavula mucida in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal the fungus grows on mossy logs, specifically near the Volchya River in Petiayarvi, north of Saint Petersburg. On September 17, 2017, small club-like mushrooms were found on a mossy log, as well as on a wet log in the same area. The fungus was also observed growing on a log, exhibiting a lichenized appearance. In all cases, the habitat was near the Volchya River, suggesting a preference for moist environments. The presence of Multiclavula mucida in this region indicates its ability to thrive in north-western Russia's climate and ecosystem. The observations highlight the fungus's growth patterns and preferred substrates, providing insight into its ecological niche in the region. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the distribution and habits of Multiclavula mucida.
