AI-generated description

Xerocomellus ripariellus is a species of bolete fungus that grows in association with various tree species. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found in deciduous and mixed forests, typically fruiting from July to October. In north-western Russia, the fungus is considered rare, but can be encountered in similar habitats, including river valleys and coastal areas. The cap is 3-6 cm in diameter, reddish-brown to dark brown, and often cracked, while the pores are yellowish to olive-brown.

AI-generated summary of observations

Observations of the fungus Xerocomellus ripariellus in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its presence in specific habitats. The bolete mushroom was found under a root of bird cherry near Lisiy Nos, west from Saint Petersburg, on September 12, 2016. Another observation noted a cut specimen of Xerocomellus ripariellus in the same area, suggesting that the species is not only present but also potentially fruiting and interacting with its environment. The specific location near Lisiy Nos and association with bird cherry roots may indicate a preferred substrate or microhabitat for this fungus in the region. Further observations are needed to fully understand the distribution and ecology of Xerocomellus ripariellus in north-western Russia. These findings contribute to our knowledge of the species' presence and habits in this part of its range.
