Scleroderma septentrionale Jeppson was fi rst discovered in Central Europe in the Puszcza Kampinoska primeval forest (Central Poland) over 40 years ago. We found two new inland localities of this rare species in southern Poland: on natural inland sand dunes of post-glacial origin (Pustynia Błędowska) and at an anthropogenic site on sandy soil polluted by heavy metals (Olkusz, in the vicinity of the Bolesław Mine and Smelter). The basidiocarps occurred under willow and birch or pine and birch. The new localities are approximately midway between two previously known inland stands in Central Europe (Puszcza Kampinoska forest and the Zahorie region in Slovakia).
