Phaeoclavulina flaccida is a species of coral fungus that grows in clusters with fan-shaped to irregularly branched fruiting bodies, typically 2-6 cm tall and 1-3 cm wide, with a waxy texture and pale yellowish-brown to greyish-brown color. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found growing on coniferous litter, moss, and soil in pine and spruce forests, often in association with Sphagnum moss. In north-western Russia, it is considered a rare species, typically fruiting from August to October, and is listed in the regional Red Data Book due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity.

Coral mushrooms Phaeoclavulina flaccida(?) near Toksovo, north from Saint Petersburg. Russia, August 16, 2017Sosnovaya ul., 17, Rappolovo, Leningradskaya oblast', Russia, 188667Observations of Phaeoclavulina flaccida in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal that the fungus grows in the region's forests. Specifically, it has been found near Kavgolovskoe Lake in Toksovo, approximately north of Saint Petersburg. The fungus was observed on two separate occasions: August 2, 2016, and August 16, 2017. On both instances, the coral mushrooms were identified as Phaeoclavulina flaccida, although the identification is marked with uncertainty. The observations suggest that Phaeoclavulina flaccida may be present in the region's forests during the summer months, particularly in August. Further research would be needed to confirm the identity of the fungus and determine its distribution and abundance in the area. The findings provide insight into the mycological diversity of Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia.
