Panellus ringens is a species of fungus that grows on decaying wood, particularly deciduous trees. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it has been found to fruit in late summer to early fall, typically on logs, stumps, and branches of birch, aspen, and alder. The fungus produces small to medium-sized, funnel-shaped or wavy caps that are yellowish-brown to brown in color, with a white to pale yellow spore print. It is considered a rare species in the region, but can be locally common in areas with abundant deciduous wood debris.
