How are Porcini doing in Gelderland this October?

Porcini usually come up in Gelderland from August to November, and right now they’re at 61% and looking good.

Fruits after warm, humid spells when soil temperatures sit in the mid teens Celsius and a good soaking rain follows a warm period. A typical trigger is heavy rain after several warm days, with flushes appearing roughly one to two weeks later.

Grows in mycorrhizal partnership with trees, especially under pine, spruce, birch, beech and oak, on well drained soil. Found in conifer and broadleaf woodland and along woodland edges and tracks.

Forms mycorrhizal partnerships with conifers (spruce, pine) and broadleaves (oak, beech, birch), so look at the edges and clearings of these woods. It favours mossy banks, well drained acidic soils and the grassy verges of woodland paths rather than dense leaf litter.

Check around the bases of host trees and along sunlit forest edges, returning to productive spots a few days apart through the flush. Cut or twist the stem cleanly, slice each cap to check for maggots, and take only young specimens with white firm flesh.

Keep fresh caps in a paper bag in the fridge and use within a couple of days, as they spoil and get wormy fast. Slicing and drying is the classic long term method; they also freeze well if briefly sauteed first.

Can be confused with the bitter bolete (Tylopilus felleus), which has a darker net on the stem, pinkish pores when mature and a strongly bitter taste, and with red pored boletes. Avoid any bolete with red or orange pores or flesh that stains strongly blue.
