Abstract

We present a new record for the polypore Meripilus giganteus (Fr.) P. Karst., 1882 from Dubki Park, Saint Petersburg, Russia. This is one of the northernmost records in Europe for this species. The morphological description of M. giganteus LE 287654 is given and its ecological preferences, which highlight an unusual ecological situation of this species in Dubki Park, are discussed.
