When will Slippery Jack appear in Dalarna?

It fruits after warm late-summer and autumn rain, typically when day temperatures sit around 10 to 20C and the ground stays damp. A good soaking followed by mild nights usually brings flushes within a week or two.
It has a distinct membranous ring or partial veil remnant on the stem, an unusual feature among the slippery-capped Suillus boletes.
Always peel off the slimy cap skin and remove the spongy pore layer first, as both can upset the stomach. Slice and fry in butter for a soft side dish, add to risotto or stews where the texture suits, or dry the cleaned pieces and grind into a savoury mushroom powder for stocks and sauces.
Other Suillus boletes such as the larch bolete (Suillus grevillei) and weeping bolete, all of which are also edible, so there are no dangerous poisonous lookalikes. The slimy brown cap, yellow pores and ringed stem set it apart from any toxic gilled mushroom.
Dalarna is a region of rolling forested uplands centred on Lake Siljan and the Dalälven river valleys, rising toward the Scandinavian mountains and open fells in the remote northwest. Lakes, bogs and low hills break up an otherwise heavily wooded interior. The province is dominated by boreal coniferous forest of Scots pine and Norway spruce mixed with birch and aspen. Chanterelles favour mossy spruce and birch ground, while porcini and other boletes thrive on the drier pine heaths and forest edges.
Dalarna has a cold, fairly continental climate with long snowy winters and short warm summers. Reliable late-summer and autumn rainfall keeps the forest floor moist, which suits a long fungal season. This is classic Swedish mushroom country with vast accessible forest under allemansrätten, the right of public access. Expect strong harvests of chanterelles, funnel chanterelles and porcini from late summer into the first frosts of autumn.
