AI-generated description

Pseudocraterellus undulatus is a species of fungus in the family Cantharellaceae. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically grows in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with spruce, pine, and birch trees. Fruiting bodies are usually found from July to October, particularly in moist areas with rich soil. The fungus has a wavy or undulate cap, 2-6 cm in diameter, with a wrinkled or veined surface, and a decurrent gill-like structure on the underside of the cap.

AI-generated summary of observations

The fungus Pseudocraterellus undulatus was observed in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia. Specifically, it was found near Dibuny, northwest of Saint Petersburg, on August 18, 2016. The observation revealed the presence of small orange cap boletes (Leccinum aurantiacum) with brown stems, alongside disguised mushrooms identified as sinuous chanterelles (Pseudocraterellus undulatus). The fungi were found in a natural setting, suggesting that this region provides a suitable habitat for their growth. The observation highlights the diversity of fungal species in the area and provides insight into the coexistence of different species, such as Leccinum aurantiacum and Pseudocraterellus undulatus, in the same environment. Further study of these species could provide valuable information on their ecology and distribution in north-western Russia. The observation contributes to the understanding of fungal diversity in the region.
