Naucoria bohemica is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Hymenogastraceae. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically grows in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with mosses and lichens. The fungus produces small to medium-sized fruiting bodies with brown to reddish-brown caps and white to yellowish gills. It is usually found in summer and autumn, particularly in areas with rich soil and high humidity. Records from the region indicate that Naucoria bohemica is relatively rare, but can be locally abundant in suitable habitats.
Observations of the fungus Naucoria bohemica in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia have yielded several notable findings. In Sosnovka Park, Saint Petersburg, brown-gilled mushrooms resembling Naucoria bohemica were found on July 24, 2017. Similar specimens were collected from a lawn in the park's west part on September 5, 2017. Further observations were made near Lisiy Nos, west of Saint Petersburg, where Naucoria bohemica-like mushrooms were spotted on September 1, 2018. These sightings suggest that the fungus may be present in urban and suburban areas of the region, potentially thriving in lawns and parks. The repeated discoveries in Sosnovka Park indicate a possible established presence of the species in this specific location. Overall, these observations contribute to our understanding of Naucoria bohemica's distribution and habitat preferences in north-western Russia.
