Russian name: Nodulisporium galloobrazuiushchiy.
Nodulisporium cecidiogenes is a species of fungus that has been found in St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and other parts of north-western Russia. It is typically associated with coniferous trees, particularly spruce and pine, where it can cause disease in the form of needle rust or canker. The fungus produces yellow to orange-colored spores and has been isolated from various substrates, including soil, decaying wood, and plant debris. In north-western Russia, Nodulisporium cecidiogenes has been reported to be a common component of fungal communities in coniferous forests, with some studies suggesting it may play a role in the decomposition of organic matter and nutrient cycling.
Nodulisporium cecidiogenes was observed in various locations in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia. On September 12, 2016, it was found on a tree near Lisiy Nos, west of Saint Petersburg, parasitizing the brown rot fungus Coniophora puteana. In Tarkhovka Park, the fungus was observed on a fallen oak on August 26, 2017, with close-up views revealing its gall-forming structure. Further observations were made near Kuzmolovo, north of Saint Petersburg, on September 24, 2017, where the fungus was found on rotten wood, near old railroad tracks, and in the surrounding area. These sightings suggest that Nodulisporium cecidiogenes is present in multiple locations in the region, often associated with decaying wood and its host fungus Coniophora puteana. The fungus appears to thrive in various environments, including beaches and wooded areas.
