Month-by-month observation rate. October stands out, as the month with the most documented finds.

On 467 observations documented public events in Central Europe from 2011 to 2025, enough to see the months but no more.

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.
