Mushroom places in the Leningrad region: where to go on a day off

The list of mushroom places is compiled based on data from several previous years. In terms of mushroom harvests, there is no change from year to year, and the portal Kolesa.Ru has no opportunity with absolute precision find out what the situation is in all indicated places on at the moment.

District: Vsevolozhsky.

Distance from the city*: about 4 km from the Ring Road.

How to get there: exit from the Ring Road to Toksovskoe Highway, then to Novy Devyatkino.

District: Vsevolozhsky.

Distance from the city*: about 5.5 km from the Ring Road.

How to get there: from Kommuny Street along Ryabovskoe Highway, then along the Road of Life to the outskirts of Vsevolozhsk.

Briefly about the place. One of the most “fruitful” (especially in season), but at the same time, the most famous mushroom places among summer residents along the Vitebsk branch of the railway.

District: Gatchina.

How to get there: the first option is along the Pulkovskoye and Kievskoye highways to the bypass road around Gatchina, then a short section along the H114 highway, then along the A120 highway, then along the secondary road towards Semrino; the second option is through Pushkin, Pavlovsk, Fedorovskoye, Fornosovo along the H233 highway, then along the A120 highway.

Pukholovo

Briefly about the place. This refers to the forest area in the vicinity of Mga between the villages of Voitolovo and Sologubovka. If you drive from Pukholovo to Turyshkino station and further in the direction of Staraya Maluksa, then there are a lot of swamps there, so in September you can safely go there not only for mushrooms, but also for cranberries.

District: Kirovsky.

A little higher we already talked about the village of Sosnovo. As the name implies, it is practically surrounded by fir trees and pine trees. And in the forest you can find not only boletuses, but also a wide variety of other mushrooms. Thus, these places are also known for black milk mushrooms, yellow and red russula, chanterelles and bitter mushrooms.
