When growing: from mid-July to the end of September, it is high above sea level in Europe and even in Greenland, most often in Ukraine, Belarus and the European part of Russia.
Where can I find the ringed cap: on acidic soils of mixed and coniferous moist forests, especially near firs, birches and oaks. The ring-shaped mushroom can be found in places where other mushrooms usually do not grow. For example, in thickets of blueberries or under dwarf birches in the northern latitudes.
