AI-generated summary of observations

Observations of Ampulloclitocybe clavipes in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia show that the fungus grows in various locations, including Sosnovka Park, forests near Kavgolovo Lake, and areas around Saint Petersburg. The mushrooms were found on multiple dates between August 4 and September 18, 2016, and again between August 6 and September 18, 2017. They were observed growing in different environments, such as on wood chips, in birch forests, and near power lines. Some observations noted the presence of young or massive mushrooms, while others questioned the identification due to uncertain characteristics. The widespread presence of Ampulloclitocybe clavipes in the region suggests that it is a common species in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia, particularly during late summer and early fall. Habitats range from urban parks to rural forests.
