In moss in a scrubby place near the margin of a thermophilic deciduous forest on basic soil under Tilia, Prunus spinosa, Malus and Fraxinus excelsior, together with Amanita strobiliformis (Paulet ex Vittad.) Bertill. The geological bedrock consists of marlite with limestone concretions of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin. Elevation ca 200 m a.s.l. Altogether two fruitbodies of Squamanita, one of them very old and blackened, grew close by the path. The vegetation of the adjacent forest corresponds to the habitat of Euro-Siberian steppic woods with Quercus spp. (Chytrý et al. 2010). The first report regarding the funga of this locality (in a broad sense) was published many years ago (Marounek 2002) and Amanita strobiliformis was one of the species mentioned.
