Extract from Wikipedia article: Amanita vaginata, commonly known as the grisette, is an edible mushroom in the Amanitaceae family of fungi. Unlike many other Amanita mushrooms, A. vaginata lacks a ring on the stem. The cap is gray or brownish, 5 to 10 centimetres (2.0 to 3.9 in) in diameter, and has furrows around the edge that duplicate the gill pattern underneath. It has a widespread distribution in North America, and is thought to be part of a species complex that includes other similar-looking Amanitas.
Amanita vaginata is a species of mushroom that belongs to the genus Amanita. It has a cap that ranges from grayish-brown to brown, often with a powdery coating, and can grow up to 8 cm in diameter. The stem is typically white or light-colored and can be up to 10 cm tall. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Amanita vaginata is commonly found in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with trees such as pine, spruce, and birch. It typically fruits from late summer to early fall, and can be found in a variety of habitats, including mossy areas, forest edges, and along roadsides.

Grisette mushrooms (Amanita vaginata) found in a coastal forest near Lisiy Nos, west from Saint Petersburg. Russia, September 6, 2018In Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia, observations of Amanita vaginata were recorded on several occasions. On September 16, 2017, the fungus was found in Sosnovka Park, Saint Petersburg. In 2018, multiple sightings occurred near Lisiy Nos, west of Saint Petersburg, including near a road and in a coastal forest on September 6. The mushrooms were observed growing in groups, suggesting a favorable environment for their growth. The specific locations and dates of the observations suggest that Amanita vaginata may thrive in the region's forests and woodland areas during late summer to early fall. The consistent presence of the species in these areas indicates a potential habitat range in north-western Russia, particularly in the Leningrad Oblast region. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the distribution and ecology of Amanita vaginata in this part of Russia.
