AI-generated summary of observations

Observations of Trichia persimilis in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal distinct stages of development. On September 18, 2017, the white egg stage of the slime mold was observed near Dibuny, northwest of Saint Petersburg. This stage is characterized by a white, egg-like appearance. Additionally, an immature specimen of Trichia persimilis was found on a stump in the same area, indicating that the species can be found on decaying wood. The observations suggest that Trichia persimilis can thrive in the region's environment, with the white egg stage and immature forms present in the wild. These findings provide insight into the life cycle and habitat preferences of this slime mold species in north-western Russia. Further study could reveal more about the distribution and behavior of Trichia persimilis in this region.
