AI-generated description

Trichoderma viride is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Hypocreaceae. It is a common soil inhabitant and can be found on decaying organic matter. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Trichoderma viride has been isolated from various substrates, including soil, plant roots, and decaying wood. The fungus is known to produce antibiotics and enzymes that inhibit the growth of other microorganisms, and it has been found to be active in temperatures ranging from 10 to 30°C. It is widely distributed in the region, with frequent occurrences in forests, fields, and other terrestrial ecosystems.

AI-generated summary of observations

In Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia, observations of Trichoderma viride have been made. Specifically, on September 4, 2018, green mold caused by the fungus was found growing on anise mazegill mushrooms (Gloeophyllum odoratum) on a stump in Lindulovskaya Larch Grove, near Roshchino, approximately 30 miles north-west of Saint Petersburg. The presence of Trichoderma viride in this region suggests that it is able to thrive in the local climate and environment. The fungus was observed to be growing on a specific substrate, namely the anise mazegill mushrooms, which may indicate a parasitic or symbiotic relationship between the two organisms. Further study would be needed to fully understand the ecology and behavior of Trichoderma viride in this region. The observation highlights the diversity of fungal species present in north-western Russia. This fungus is widely distributed and can be found in various environments.
