Where to mushrooms? We suggest what specimens you can look for in July

The season for collecting mushrooms is usually the beginning of autumn, i.e. September and October. However, avid mushroom pickers do not have to wait so long. Already in our forests we will find a lot of interesting, edible specimens. Especially in the right weather. Rain may and destroys vacationers’ plans, but it is certainly beneficial for collectors.

Mushrooms already in July? You don’t have to wait until autumn

Currently, in Poland, you can come across tubular mushrooms. If the litter is moist, the air temperature above 15 degrees Celsius, and the frosts do not occur, there can be a lot of them.

From July to October you can collect chanterelles. We find them under moss and leaves, most often in Borowe habitats. Noble porcini mushrooms occur at the same time. You can look for them in all types of forests, most often around spruces, pines, beeches and oaks.

Where can we find the most mushrooms now?

You can also look for buttermilk and goats. The former can be found near the pines, the latter mainly in deciduous and mixed forests. Kanie can also be collected from July to October. However, it is worth making sure that they are not somirotal toadstools, which look quite similar.

As for the map of Poland, the most mushrooms can be found in the north of the country: in Pomerania and in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. Individual specimens are also reported in voivodships more south, even in Lesser Poland, Podkarpackie or Lublin.

Collecting mushrooms in the summer. An important advice

It is worth remembering that especially in the summer you should not collect mushrooms for plastic bags. High temperatures create the risk of brewing our harvest in plastic, which does not pass the air. We will avoid the appearance of dangerous bacteria if we choose baskets or other similar containers.
