Extract from Wikipedia article: Phlebia radiata, commonly known as the wrinkled crust, is a common species of crust fungus in the family Meruliaceae. It is widespread in the Northern Hemisphere. It grows as a wrinkled, orange to pinkish waxy crust on the decaying wood of coniferous and deciduous trees, in which it causes a white rot. The fungus was first described scientifically in 1821 by Elias Magnus Fries.
Phlebia radiata is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Meruliaceae. It is a wood-decaying fungus that grows on decaying logs, stumps, and other woody debris. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Phlebia radiata has been found to fruit from July to October, typically on coniferous substrates such as spruce and pine. The fungus produces resupinate to effused-reflexed basidiocarps with a smooth to tuberculate hymenial surface and a white to cream-colored margin. Its distribution in the region is relatively common, particularly in areas with abundant coniferous forests.

Russia, September 25, 2017Doroga Na Aleksandrovku, Sankt-Peterburg, Russia, 196603Observations of Phlebia radiata in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its presence on various tree species, including mountain ash, alder, and fallen trees. The fungus was found in multiple locations, such as Sosnovka Park, Verperlud Island, Lisiy Nos, Nizhniye Dubki, Tarkhovka, and Aleksandrovsky Park. It exhibited a range of textures and colors, including wrinkled crusts and orange patches. The fungus was also observed growing behind bark and on logs with moss. Observations were made over several months, from February to September 2017, indicating the fungus's persistence in the region. The variety of substrates and locations suggests that Phlebia radiata is widely distributed and adaptable in north-western Russia. Its appearance and texture varied, but it was consistently identified as Phlebia radiata.
