From November to February The mushrooms in grey have few public comments in Central Europe: the month is indicative.
Because every year is different
- The season opens with rain: after a heavy rain, with the soil still warm, it takes one or two weeks.
- In mountain It begins earlier and ends earlier than on the plain, and the same is true for the northern slopes.
- A'dry summer It pushes it forward, sometimes by weeks. A mild autumn lengthens it.
The calendar says the months. Which day, in your forest, this year, the rain that fell there tells you: MushScout follows it day by day and tells you when it's time.
Download MushScoutWith Premium you can see the next 12 days and the day they could be born.
Data: GBIF.org — GBIF.org, observations with coordinates 2011-2025, counts by month (facet). The observations say when people have documented a find, not how many mushrooms there were.
