Are Chanterelle out in Kronoberg yet?
Chanterelle usually come up in Kronoberg from June to October, and right now they’re at 46% and looking good.
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.
Grows on the ground in deciduous and coniferous woodland, in a mycorrhizal partnership with trees such as oak, beech, birch and pine. It often appears in mossy ground, on banks and along path edges, frequently coming back in the same spots year after year.
Keep fresh in a paper bag in the fridge for up to a week, brushing off dirt rather than washing them wet. They do not dry as well as many mushrooms, so for longer keeping cook them first then freeze, or preserve in oil or by pickling.
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.
Kronoberg sits on the Småland highlands, a gently rolling inland plateau of low ridges, glacial moraine and stony, acidic soils. There is no coastline; instead the county is threaded with countless lakes, bogs and rivers, including Lake Åsnen and the Mörrumsån. Dense coniferous forest dominates, mostly Norway spruce and Scots pine on thin moraine soils, mixed with birch, and patches of oak and beech on richer ground. Mushrooms favour the mossy spruce stands, pine heaths and the damp margins of bogs and lakes.
The climate is cool and humid, with some of the higher rainfall in southern Sweden thanks to the upland setting. Wet, mild late summers and autumns keep the forest floor reliably moist for fungi. Expect classic Småland conifer foraging: chanterelles, porcini and other boletes under spruce and pine, with funnel chanterelles often lasting well into a damp autumn. Forest is plentiful and access is open under allemansrätten, though acidic ground means fewer calcareous specialists.
