Sebacina epigaea is a mycorrhizal fungus that forms symbiotic relationships with plant roots. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it has been found in association with various tree species, including birch, spruce, and pine. The fungus is relatively common in the region's coniferous and mixed forests, where it plays a role in enhancing plant nutrition and tolerance to environmental stresses.

On September 3, 2018, a specimen was found at the base of a marker post made from pine near Dibuny, north-west of Saint Petersburg. The fungus grew on the wooden post, indicating its ability to thrive on decaying wood in the region's temperate environment. Further observations may be necessary to confirm the identity of the species and fully understand its distribution and ecological role in the area. The discovery highlights the diversity of fungal life in the region and the potential for further research into the ecology and conservation of corticioid fungi in north-western Russia. Additional studies could provide insights into the fungus's interactions with other organisms and its impact on the local ecosystem.
