Is it Slippery Jack season in Midtjylland right now?

This week’s slippery jack forecast for Midtjylland, Denmark reads 54% and looking good.

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.

Cap is chestnut to dark brown, smooth and very slimy when wet. The underside has fine pale yellow pores rather than gills, and the stem carries a distinct ring with small brown dots above it. The flesh is pale and the smell is mild.

In the same pine woods and season look for other Suillus such as larch bolete and weeping bolete, plus saffron milkcaps and the occasional bay bolete or porcini on richer patches. False chanterelles and various brittlegills often share the same acidic ground.

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.

A decent edible with a mild flavour, good in mixed dishes, soups and sauces rather than as the star. Always peel off the slimy cap skin, which can otherwise cause loose stools, and discard the spongy pore layer on older specimens.

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.
