Scaly webcap mushrooms (Cortinarius pholideus) near Lisiy Nos, west from Saint Petersburg. Russia, September 1, 2018Prirodnyy zapovednik, Sankt-Peterburg, Russia, 197755Observations of Cortinarius pholideus in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia indicate that the fungus can be found in various locations near Saint Petersburg. Specifically, it has been spotted near Lisiy Nos, both south and west of the city, on September 3, 2016, and again on September 1, 2018. Additionally, it has been observed near Dibuny, west of Saint Petersburg, on September 7, 2016. These sightings suggest that Cortinarius pholideus is present in the region during the early autumn season, around late August to early September. The fungus appears to thrive in this area, with multiple observations recorded over a period of two years. The consistent presence of Cortinarius pholideus in these locations implies that it may be a common species in the region's ecosystem. Further research could help determine its habitat preferences and distribution patterns.
