Extract from Wikipedia article: Panus conchatus, commonly known as the lilac oysterling, is an inedible species of mushroom that occurs throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Its fruitbodies are characterized by a smooth, lilac- or tan-colored cap, and decurrent gills. The fungus is saprophytic and fruits on the decomposing wood of a wide variety of deciduous and coniferous trees. Despite being a gilled species, phylogenetic analysis has shown it is closely related to the pored species found in the family Polyporaceae.
Panus conchatus is a species of edible fungus that belongs to the family Tricholomataceae. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically grows on decaying wood, stumps, and tree trunks in moist environments, such as forests, parks, and along rivers. Fruitings occur from July to October. In north-western Russia, Panus conchatus is commonly found in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with spruce, pine, and birch trees. The fungus has a fan-shaped or semicircular cap, 3-8 cm in diameter, with a wavy margin, and a stipe that is lateral or eccentric. The cap is brown to greyish-brown, with a velvety surface, and the gills are decurrent, pale yellow to greyish-yellow.

Gills of lilac oysterling mushrooms (Panus conchatus) on a twig in Gardens of Polytechnic Institute. Saint Petersburg, Russia, August 19, 2017Политехническая ул., 29, Sankt-Peterburg, Russia, 194064Observations of Panus conchatus in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia revealed the presence of lilac oysterling mushrooms in specific environments. On August 19, 2017, specimens were found growing on a twig under linden trees in the Gardens of Polytechnic Institute, Saint Petersburg. The mushrooms exhibited characteristic features, including their distinctive lilac color. A closer examination of the gills of these mushrooms on a twig in the same location revealed intricate details of their structure. These observations suggest that Panus conchatus can thrive in urban environments with suitable host trees, such as linden, and highlight the importance of examining specific microhabitats to discover fungal species. The presence of lilac oysterling mushrooms in this region indicates a diverse range of fungi in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia. Further study is needed to fully understand their distribution and ecology.
