The species was found in the Srednekansky (surroundings of the settlement of Seimchan) and Tenkinsky (nearby the settlement of Orotuk) districts. It grows in moistened larch communities. By genetic characteristics, it is closely associated with a group of grey annulated boletus (closest to Suillus flavus).
This is the third world-known secotioid species of annulated boletus (2 species are known for North America) and the first taxon (from the Magadan region) for Eurasia.

The Institute of Biological Problems of the North, FEB RAS took part in the Northern Forum on Sustainable Development, which was held in Yakutsk from September 24 to September 28, 2019.
The Northern Forum is an international non-governmental organization of governors of the northern regions. The organization’s mission is to improve the quality of life of the population and support the sustainable development of regions with cold climate. The Northern Forum is still the only international organization of the North aimed at supporting interregional cooperation throughout the circumpolar Arctic with the establishment of a North-South dialogue, primarily with countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
E.V. Khamenkova, cand. of Biol.scien., Ph.D., Academic Secretary, IBPN FEB RAS made a speech within the framework of the round table “Ecological tourism and specially protected natural territories”. The report “Expanding the network of specially protected natural territories of the Magadan Region as the basis for the development of ecotourism” formulated the position of IBPN FEB RAS on this issue, the general need and importance of expanding the network of specially protected natural territories (SPNT) for the region. The main part of the report is an initiative aimed at creating the Omulevsky National Park on the border between the northern part of the Susuman district of the Magadan region and the southern part of the Momsk region of Yakutia.
