Phellinus chrysoloma is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Hymenochaetaceae. It is a perennial, saprotrophic fungus that grows on dead wood, typically coniferous trees. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Phellinus chrysoloma has been found to be widely distributed, particularly in forests dominated by spruce, pine, and fir. The fungus produces fruiting bodies that are annual, sessile, and circular to semicircular, with a golden-brown to dark brown cap and a white to cream-colored pore surface. It is commonly found on stumps, logs, and dead branches of coniferous trees, where it plays a role in decomposing organic matter.

Russia, August 4, 2024Линдуловская дорога, Рощинское городское поселение, Выборгский район, Ленинградская область, Северо-Западный федеральный округ, 188930, РоссияPhellinus chrysoloma was observed growing on fallen spruce and rotting wood in Kannelyarvi and Toksovo, north of Saint Petersburg, and in Lindulovskaya Larch Grove near Roshchino. The fungus was found on dry branches of thick fallen spruces, with mossy caps and pore surfaces. Observations were made in May 2019 and 2021, and August 2024. The fungus exhibited a range of forms, including resupinate and cap-like growths. The caps were often mossy, and the pores were visible on the underside. The texture of the fungus was also observed, with some areas appearing smooth and others more rough. The observations suggest that Phellinus chrysoloma is common in the region, growing on a variety of substrates, including spruce logs and dry branches.
