AI-generated summary of observations

Observations of Amanita crocea in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its presence in various locations near Saint Petersburg. The fungus was spotted in Dibuny, a region northwest of the city, on two occasions: August 18, 2016, and August 20, 2017. It was also found in Yuntolovsky Park in Saint Petersburg on July 7, 2017, and in Gardens of Polytechnic Institute on July 29, 2017, although the latter sighting was tentative. Another confirmed sighting occurred in Pavlovsk Park, a suburb of Saint Petersburg, on August 20, 2018. These observations suggest that Amanita crocea is present in the region's parks and natural areas during the summer months, particularly in July and August. The fungus appears to thrive in these environments, with multiple sightings recorded over several years.
