Extract from Wikipedia article: Neolentinus lepideus is a basidiomycete mushroom of the genus Neolentinus, until recently also widely known as Lentinus lepideus. Common names for it include scaly lentinus and train wrecker.
Neolentinus lepideus is a species of fungus that grows on coniferous wood, particularly on pine and spruce. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it is commonly found in urban and rural areas, often on stumps, logs, and other decaying wood. The fungus produces fruiting bodies from June to October, with caps ranging from 3-10 cm in diameter, brown to greyish-brown in color, and gills that are white to light brown. It is a relatively common species in the region, often associated with disturbed or managed forests.

Gills of scaly sawgill mushrooms (Neolentinus lepideus) in Sosnovka Park. Saint Petersburg, Russia, July 20, 2017Unnamed Road, Sankt-Peterburg, Russia, 194064Observations of Neolentinus lepideus in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its presence on stumps in Sosnovka Park, Saint Petersburg. On July 16, 2017, a small scaly lentinus mushroom was found growing from a stump. Four days later, on July 20, 2017, old scaly sawgill mushrooms were observed in the same park, indicating the species' ability to persist over time. A closer examination of the gills of these mushrooms revealed their characteristic features. The sightings suggest that Neolentinus lepideus is able to thrive in this region, potentially on decaying wood. The observations provide insight into the growth habits and morphology of the species in its natural habitat. The presence of old mushrooms implies that the species may have a relatively long fruiting period or be able to survive for an extended time in this environment.
