The article presents the results of studying the state of the regional population of Hemileccinum impolitum (Fr.) Šutara (= Boletus impolitus Fr.) on the territory of Belgorod Region of the Russian Federation. 3 habitats of this species have been identified in the region. It has been established that the threatening factors for H. impolitum in Belgorod Region are: the low frequency of occurrence of habitats with local populations, the point of local populations, the distances between the nearest populations, the disturbance (destruction) of habitats on cause of recreational load and the collection of fruit bodies. The following set of measures to maintain this species in nature is recommended: preservation of existing habitats and search for new ones in characteristic ecotopes; taking identified habitats under territorial protection; monitoring the number of known habitats at least once every 2-3 years; environmental education of the population.
