Extract from Wikipedia article: Phlebia centrifuga is a species of crust fungus in the family Meruliaceae. It was described in 1881 by Petter Karsten.
Phlebia centrifuga is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Meruliaceae. It is characterized by its resupinate to effused-reflexed fruiting body, with a smooth to tuberculate hymenial surface and white to cream-colored margin. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Phlebia centrifuga has been found growing on decaying wood, particularly on coniferous trees such as spruce and pine. It is commonly associated with moist, shaded environments, including forests, parks, and woodland edges. The fungus is widely distributed in the region, with collections reported from various locations, including the Karelian Isthmus and the Valdai Hills.

Texture of corticioid fungus Phlebia centrifuga (Phlebia mellea) on underside of a fallen spruce near Dibuny, north-west from Saint Petersburg, Russia, May 5, 2021Leninskaya Tropa, Sankt-Peterburg, RussiaObservations in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal distinct characteristics of the fungus Phlebia centrifuga. On the underside of a fallen spruce near Dibuny, the corticioid fungus displays a brown margin, as observed on May 5, 2021. The texture of Phlebia centrifuga is also notable, with a specific appearance on the underside of the same fallen spruce. These observations provide insight into the physical characteristics and growth patterns of this fungus in the region. Specifically, the brown margin and unique texture suggest that Phlebia centrifuga can thrive on decaying wood in north-western Russia, highlighting its role in decomposing organic matter. Further study could elucidate the ecological significance of this species in the area. The observations highlight the importance of documenting fungal growth and characteristics in various environments.
