When will Birch Bolete appear in Arnsberg?
Mushroom season in Arnsberg, Germany is looking good right now, with birch bolete sitting at 67% today. The typical season runs June to October, and we’re in September now
It fruits after warm summer or autumn rain, typically when daytime temperatures sit around 12 to 20 C and the ground stays damp. A good soaking followed by mild, humid days a week or so later usually brings them up.
Where birch grows you may also find other Leccinum such as the orange birch bolete, plus fly agaric and various russulas and milkcaps that share the same birch habitat. The fungus is restricted to birch, so birch presence is the main thing to look for.
The flesh of the cap often stays whitish or barely changes colour when cut, which helps separate it from some other scaber stalks that stain pink, grey or black.
Pick young, firm specimens because older ones quickly become spongy, waterlogged and maggot-ridden. Confirm the birch association, the brownish cap, the white pores that bruise and the scaly stem, and slice each one to check the flesh before adding it to your basket.
Use fresh within a day or two as it deteriorates fast and the flesh softens quickly. It dries well into slices or powder, and you can also slice and freeze it after a brief sauté to hold its texture better.
Easily told from other Leccinum such as the orange birch bolete by its dull brown cap. It has no deadly lookalikes, but as a bolete only ever pick firm specimens, since old soft ones cause stomach upsets, and avoid any bolete with red or orange pores and blue-staining flesh.
