Extract from Wikipedia article: Imleria badia, commonly known as the bay bolete, is an edible, pored mushroom found in Europe and North America, where it grows in coniferous or mixed woods on the ground or on decaying tree stumps, sometimes in prolific numbers. Both the common and scientific names refer to the bay- or chestnut-coloured cap, which is almost spherical in young specimens before broadening and flattening out to a diameter up to 15 cm (6 in). On the cap underside are small yellowish pores that turn dull blue-grey when bruised. The smooth, cylindrical stipe, measuring 4–9 cm (1.6–3.5 in) long by 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 in) thick, is coloured like the cap, but paler. Some varieties have been described from eastern North America, differing from the main type in both macroscopic and microscopic morphology.
Imleria badia is a species of fungi that belongs to the family Boletaceae. It is a medium to large-sized bolete with a brown cap and yellow-brown pores. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Imleria badia is commonly found in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with spruce, pine, and birch trees. It typically fruits from July to October, preferring moist, acidic soils with rich humus. The fungus is widely distributed in the region, including urban parks and forests near St. Petersburg, and is considered a edible species, although its quality is variable.

Young bay bolete mushrooms (Imleria badia) west from Kavgolovo Lake near Toksovo, north from Saint Petersburg. Russia, August 21, 2018Leningrad Oblast, Russia, 188667Observations of Imleria badia in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia show that the fungus grows in various locations, including Okhtinsky Park, forests around Kavgolovskoe Lake, and Sosnovka Park. The mushrooms were found near Saint Petersburg, with sightings in suburbs such as Toksovo, Pavlovsk, and Sestroretsk. They typically grow on the ground, but one instance was found in a cavity at the base of a tree. The observations took place between August and November, with multiple sightings in August and September. The mushrooms were often found near oak trees, and some sightings noted small or young specimens. The locations ranged from urban parks to forested areas, indicating that Imleria badia can thrive in different environments. Repeat sightings in the same locations suggest that the fungus may be a common species in the region.
