Tulasnella violea is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Tulasnellaceae. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it has been found in association with orchid roots, forming mycorrhizal relationships. The fungus grows in moist, acidic soils and is commonly encountered in coniferous forests, particularly in areas with abundant moss cover. Its distribution in the region is often linked to the presence of specific orchid species, such as Dactylorhiza and Goodyera, which rely on Tulasnella violea for seed germination and nutrient uptake.

Maze-gill fungus (oak mazegill mushroom, Daedalea quercina) with a violet fungus Tulasnella violea in Lisiy Nos, west from Saint Petersburg. Russia, October 9, 2016Primorskoye sh., g. Sankt-Peterburg, Russia, 197755Observations of the fungus Tulasnella violea were made in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia. In Dubki Park, Sestroretsk, a violet patch-forming Tulasnella violea was found growing on an Oak maze-gill mushroom (Daedalea quercina) on October 2, 2016. A similar observation was made in Lisiy Nos, where the maze-gill fungus (Daedalea quercina) was also hosting a violet Tulasnella violea, recorded on October 9, 2016. These sightings suggest that Tulasnella violea is present in the region and can form associations with certain host fungi, such as Daedalea quercina. The observations were made in two different locations within a short period of time, indicating a possible widespread distribution of this fungus in the area during the fall season. Both sightings were in areas west of Saint Petersburg.
