Russia, September 28, 2017Unnamed Road, Pesochny, Sankt-Peterburg, RussiaObservations of Hygrophorus camarophyllus in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal that the fungus grows in the region, particularly near Saint Petersburg. On September 7, 2016, dusky wax cap mushrooms were found near Dibuny, west of Saint Petersburg.

The following year, on September 28, 2017, arched woodwax mushrooms were spotted near Dibuny, north-west of Saint Petersburg. These sightings suggest that Hygrophorus camarophyllus can be found in the area during late summer to early fall, specifically in September. The fungus appears to thrive in the region's environment, with multiple observations recorded over a two-year period. The locations of these findings are relatively close to each other, indicating a possible concentration of the species in this part of Russia.
