Stilbella byssiseda is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Hyaloscyphaceae. It is characterized by its white to cream-colored, hairy appearance and growth on decaying organic matter. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Stilbella byssiseda has been found growing on rotten wood, plant debris, and other cellulose-rich substrates, particularly in moist, shaded areas such as forests, parks, and along waterways.
In Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia, specifically in Sosnovka Park, Saint Petersburg, observations of the fungus Stilbella byssiseda were made. The mushrooms were found growing on various substrates, including stumps, mossy stumps, rotten wood, and even dead slime mold. Clusters of the mushrooms were observed on rotten stumps, and they also grew individually in moss. The fungi were spotted on roadides and in the park, often on decaying wood. Observations were made on two separate dates, September 23 and 30, 2017, indicating a possible prolonged fruiting period for the species in this region. The variety of substrates and locations where Stilbella byssiseda was found suggests it is adaptable and widespread in the area.
