AI-generated summary of observations

Observations of Amanita battarrae in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal distinctive characteristics. The fungus has a marginally-grooved cap with zoned colouring, as seen in the Blizhnie Dubki area near Lisiy Nos and in Pavlovsk Park. In the New Sylvia area of Pavlovsk Park, the grisette mushrooms were found to have a consistent appearance, with side views showing the shape and structure of the fungus. The caps of the mushrooms were also observed to have similar zoned colouring patterns. These observations were made on specific dates: September 11, 2017, in Blizhnie Dubki and September 8, 2018, in Pavlovsk Park, suggesting that Amanita battarrae can be found in these regions during late summer. The consistent characteristics of the fungus across different locations and years suggest a stable species presence in the area.
