How are Birch Bolete doing in Kalmar this October?
Mushroom season in Kalmar, Sweden is looking good right now, with birch bolete sitting at 54% today. The typical season runs June to October, and we’re in October 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.
Summer to autumn, mainly June to October.
The flavour is mild and the flesh turns soft and can go slimy when cooked alone, so it is best used in mixed mushroom dishes rather than as a star. Slice and fry firm young caps with onions for an omelette, add to soups and stews, or dry and grind into a mushroom powder for seasoning.
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.
Kalmar stretches along Sweden’s southeastern Baltic coast, forming the eastern edge of Småland together with the long, flat island of Öland across the Kalmar Sound. It is mostly low, gently undulating country: forested inland with scattered lakes and marshes, giving way to a fertile coastal plain and Öland’s open limestone alvar. Coniferous forest of pine and spruce dominates the mainland interior, but Kalmar is Sweden’s most oak-rich county, with noble broadleaf woods of oak, beech and hazel groves along the coastal plain and on Öland. These old deciduous stands, along with mossy spruce forest and birch edges, are the prime ground for mushrooms.
This is one of the driest, sunniest corners of Sweden, sheltered by Öland and tempered by the Baltic, often with early-summer drought in a normal year. Good fungal flushes therefore depend heavily on late-summer and autumn rain rather than steady moisture. Expect a season that hinges on rain: in a wet autumn the oak woods and conifer forest can be excellent, while a dry summer can hold things back. The mix of rich deciduous habitats and ordinary spruce forest gives variety, from chanterelles and porcini to oak-loving specialities.
