When will Honey appear in Yvelines?
Mushroom season in Yvelines, France is running strong right now, with honey sitting at 75% today. The typical season runs September to November, and we’re in October now
It fruits in autumn after the first cool, damp spells, typically once nights drop to around 5 to 12 C following steady rain. A wet late September through November in temperate Europe brings the biggest flushes.
In the same autumn woods and on similar dead wood look for sulphur tuft, which is bitter and toxic and can grow in lookalike clusters, plus oyster mushrooms and velvet shank on standing trunks. Around the host trees you may also find late ceps, hedgehog fungus and various russulas.
Use it within a day or two as it does not keep well fresh; store the cleaned caps loosely in the fridge in paper. It dries well for long keeping, and you can also freeze it after parboiling, but never store or serve it without cooking first.
Can be confused with the deadly funeral bell (Galerina marginata), which also grows on wood but is smaller, has a rusty-brown spore print and lacks the dense tufted clumps and dark cap scales. It is also worth separating from the sheathed woodtuft (Kuehneromyces mutabilis) and from species of Pholiota.
Yvelines lies west of Paris in the Paris Basin, a landscape of gently rolling limestone and sandy plateaus incised by river valleys. The Seine winds through in broad meanders around Mantes and the Meulan hills, fed by smaller rivers such as the Mauldre and the Vaucouleurs. Between them stretch the plateaus of the Hurepoix and the Mantois and the plaine de Versailles. Woodland is abundant, crowned by the vast Forêt de Rambouillet, one of the largest massifs in Île-de-France, alongside the forests of Marly and Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Sessile oak and beech dominate, mixed with Scots pine, sweet chestnut and birch on sandy, acidic soils dotted with ponds and heath – ideal ground for mycorrhizal fungi.
The climate is temperate oceanic with a slight continental edge, bringing mild, damp autumns and annual rainfall around 650-700 mm. Warm late-summer rains followed by cool, humid September nights trigger the main flush, which runs from September into November. Spring dampness can also bring morels. Foragers work the oak-and-pine stands of Rambouillet and Marly for cèpes and girolles, with pieds-de-mouton and trompettes-de-la-mort in the leaf litter. Sandy clearings and heathy edges yield boletes, while grassy rides and pastures produce parasols (coulemelles) and russulas in a good autumn.
