Gloiodon strigosus is a species of tooth fungus that belongs to the family Mycenaceae. It is characterized by its small to medium-sized fruiting body with a pubescent to strigose pileus and stipe. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Gloiodon strigosus has been found growing on decaying wood, particularly coniferous trees, in moist and shaded areas of forests and parks. The fungus typically fruits from summer to autumn, forming small, scattered or grouped colonies on logs, stumps, and other woody substrates.
Gloiodon strigosus was observed in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia on various substrates. On March 14, 2017, it was found on a willow stump near Kavgolovskoe Lake in Toksovo, with Auriscalpium-like characteristics. Later, on August 23, 2017, timber hydnoid mushrooms were discovered on a fallen bird cherry near Lisiy Nos, west of Saint Petersburg. Similar observations were made on September 11, 2017, and again on August 26, 2018, with tooth mushrooms found on fallen bird cherries in the same area. The fungus was consistently associated with deciduous tree substrates, particularly willow and bird cherry, in these regions. Observations spanned multiple seasons, from March to September, indicating a potentially wide range of fruiting times for Gloiodon strigosus in this region.
