When is the best time to find Chanterelle in Blekinge?
This week’s chanterelle forecast for Blekinge, Sweden reads 32% and building.
Fruits in warm, humid weather a week or two after steady summer rain, typically when soil stays moist and temperatures sit around 15 to 20 C. A wet spell breaking a dry period often brings a flush.
The ridges under the cap are not true gills but blunt, branching false gills that run down the stem, a key feature separating it from look-alikes.
An excellent edible with firm flesh and a mild, slightly peppery and fruity flavour. It is good fried in butter and works well with eggs, in sauces and cream dishes; cook it gently as it can release water, and avoid overcooking which toughens it.
The main dangerous lookalike is the Jack o’lantern (Omphalotus illudens, and the European Omphalotus olearius), which is toxic and causes severe sickness; it grows in clumps on wood or stumps and has true sharp gills rather than blunt forked ridges. The false chanterelle (Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca) is also confused with it but has thinner, true gills and a more orange colour, and is best avoided.
Blekinge is Sweden’s smallest mainland province, a low, gently undulating coastal region in the far south where narrow river valleys run down to a green Baltic archipelago of islands and skerries. Its fertile, leafy character has long earned it the nickname ‘Sweden’s Garden’. The province is known for its rich deciduous woodland, with beech and oak forests, hazel and hornbeam, giving way to mixed conifer-and-broadleaf forest further inland. These oak pastures, beech stands and mossy mixed woods, often reaching right down to the shore, are prime ground for chanterelles, ceps and other fungi.
Blekinge has one of Sweden’s mildest, most maritime climates, with relatively warm summers, gentle winters and steady rainfall tempered by the Baltic Sea. This mild, humid setting and long growing season keep the woods damp and productive well into autumn. Foraging here is easy and rewarding thanks to the warm soils and varied broadleaf forests close to the coast. Expect a generous mix of chanterelles, porcini and other woodland mushrooms, with the deciduous groves and oak pastures especially worth exploring.
