How are Porcini doing in County Tipperary this October?
Mushroom season in County Tipperary, Ireland is looking good right now, with porcini sitting at 66% today. The typical season runs August to November, and we’re in October now

One of the finest edible mushrooms, with a deep savoury nutty flavour. Excellent fresh in risotto, sauces and fried in butter, and it dries very well to concentrate the flavour for stocks and soups.

Tipperary is a landlocked inland county built around the broad, fertile lowland of the Golden Vale, framed by uplands such as the Galtee Mountains, the Knockmealdowns, Slievenamon and the Silvermines. The River Suir winds through the plain, with the sheltered Glen of Aherlow tucked between the Galtees and the Slievenamuck ridge. Much of the county is pasture, but you’ll find mixed broadleaf woodland of oak, ash, beech and hazel along the river valleys and lower mountain slopes, alongside Coillte conifer plantations of spruce and pine on the higher ground. Look to damp deciduous woods, old hedgerows and the grassy margins of the limestone lowlands for fungi.
The climate is mild and distinctly wet, with Atlantic weather bringing rain throughout the year and the surrounding hills wringing out extra showers. Frosts are light and the growing season is long, keeping the ground reliably damp into autumn. Expect classic Irish lowland and upland foraging: the rich pastures of the Golden Vale are good for grassland species, while the wooded valleys and conifer plantations of the Galtees and Knockmealdowns hold the autumn flushes. Much of the land is farmed, so stick to public forests, trails and rights of way and always seek permission on private ground.
