Propolis farinosa is a fungus that grows on decaying wood, particularly coniferous trees. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it has been found in moist, shaded areas with rich soil. The fungus produces small, powdery fruiting bodies that are white to light brown in color. It is a relatively rare species in the region, but can be encountered in forests, parks, and woodlands, often on fallen logs or stumps of spruce, fir, or pine trees.
