Look in spruce and pine forest and in mixed woodland with birch. To avoid the crowds, go in early on a weekday and get away from the car parks. Track edges and clearings deeper in the forest give the best results.

About the forest
Puszcza Knyszyńska (the Knyszyn Forest) lies right next to Białystok, between Supraśl and Knyszyn. It is a compact forest complex of pine forest and mixed woodland. Being close to the city means it can be crowded at weekends.
