Neofavolus suavissimus is a species of polypore fungus that grows on deciduous trees, particularly willow and alder. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found in urban parks and forests, typically fruiting from July to October. In north-western Russia, it is widely distributed and can be found in various habitats, including river valleys and coastal areas, often associated with Salix and Alnus species. The fungus produces small to medium-sized, semicircular to kidney-shaped caps with a smooth, velvety surface and a sweet, fruity odor.

Cap of a timber mushroom Neofavolus suavissimus (Lentinus suavissimus)(?) in Tarkhovka near Sestroretsk. West from Saint Petersburg, Russia, August 15, 2017Primorskoye sh., Sankt-Peterburg, Russia, 197701Observations of the fungus Neofavolus suavissimus were made in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia. In Tarkhovka, near Sestroretsk, west of Saint Petersburg, a specimen was found growing on a fallen tree branch on August 15, 2017. The cap of the mushroom was also observed, providing insight into its morphology. The fungus was identified as Neofavolus suavissimus, although it was previously known as Lentinus suavissimus, indicating potential taxonomic reclassification. These observations suggest that Neofavolus suavissimus can be found in the region's deciduous forests, specifically on dead wood, during late summer. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the distribution and ecology of this species in north-western Russia. Further study is needed to fully understand its habits and habitats in the region. The observations were made in a specific location, providing valuable data for mycological research.
