Cup mushrooms Sclerencoelia fascicularis with their underside on upper branches of a fallen aspen in Zakhodskoe (Lounatjoki), 50 miles north from Saint Petersburg. Russia, May 22, 2021Unnamed Road, Zakhodskoye, Leningradskaya oblast', Russia, 188861Observations of the fungus Sclerencoelia fascicularis were made in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia. The fungus was found growing on the upper branches of a fallen aspen in Zakhodskoe, approximately 50 miles north of Saint Petersburg. On May 22, 2021, cup-shaped mushrooms were observed on the upper sections of the fallen tree, with some showing their underside. The mushrooms were concentrated on the upper branches, suggesting a preference for this location. Close-up observations revealed detailed characteristics of the fungus, including its shape and structure. The presence of Sclerencoelia fascicularis in this region indicates that it can thrive in the local environment, potentially playing a role in decomposing organic matter. Further study could provide insight into the ecology and distribution of this fungus in north-western Russia. The observations highlight the importance of documenting fungal species in various habitats.
