Cauliflower Mushroom in Darmstadt, Germany: live forecast and 14-day outlook
Cauliflower Mushroom usually come up in Darmstadt from August to November, and right now they’re at 46% and looking good.
It fruits in late summer and autumn once cooler, damp weather sets in, typically after good rainfall when daytime temperatures sit around 10 to 18 C. The same individual base often returns to the same spot for several years running.
A large rounded mass of flattened, wavy, ribbon-like lobes resembling a cauliflower or a bath sponge, pale cream to yellowish brown and darkening with age. It has no gills or pores on the lobes, attaches to a short rooting stem-like base, and smells pleasantly sweetish or aniseed-like.
In the same pine woods and season you may find boletes such as bay bolete and porcini, plus saffron milkcaps and chanterelles on the more open sandy ground. Note any pine stumps you pass, since they mark likely spots to recheck for the cauliflower in future years.
Cleaning is the main job, as grit and insects hide in the folds; cut into pieces and rinse thoroughly before use. It keeps a few days refrigerated in paper, freezes well after a brief blanch or saute, and dries cleanly for long storage.
Trim, soak and rinse out grit, then slice and fry slowly in butter until tender, as it has a firm bite and nutty flavour. It also works simmered into soups, stews and risotto, or torn into stir-fries where it holds its shape well.
Hard to confuse with anything dangerous because of its unique cauliflower shape. The related Sparassis brevipes (and on broadleaf trees Sparassis spathulata) are also edible, so there is no poisonous lookalike of concern.
