Is it Birch Bolete season in Kassel right now?
This week’s birch bolete forecast for Kassel, Germany reads 39% and building.
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.
It grows only in association with birch, so look under birch trees in mixed woods, heaths, parkland and damp birch scrub. It favours acidic, moist soils and often appears in mossy or grassy ground near the base of the trees.
Summer to autumn, mainly June to October.
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.
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.
