Multiclavula mucida is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Clavulinaceae. It is characterized by its white to yellowish, clavate to cylindrical basidiocarps that grow up to 5 mm tall and 1-2 mm wide. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Multiclavula mucida has been found growing on mosses, particularly in moist, shaded areas such as forests, bogs, and along streams. The fungus typically fruits from July to September, with a peak in August. It is considered a rare species in the region, but can be locally common in suitable habitats.
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.
