Phaeoclavulina abietina is a species of coral fungus that grows on coniferous trees, particularly spruce and fir. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it has been found to fruit from July to October, typically in moist, shaded areas with rich soil. The fungus forms yellow to brownish-yellow, branched coral-like structures, 3-8 cm tall, with a whitish to pale yellow base. It is considered a rare species in the region, but can be locally common in suitable habitats, such as old-growth forests and forest edges.
