Is it Winter Chanterelle season in Keski-Pohjanmaa right now?
Mushroom season in Keski-Pohjanmaa, Finland is looking good right now, with winter chanterelle sitting at 41% today. The typical season runs September to December, and we’re in November now
It fruits late in the season once temperatures have dropped to cool autumn levels, often after the first frosts, and needs steady soil moisture from autumn rain. It can keep appearing into early winter and tolerates light frost better than most edible mushrooms.
Look for it alongside hedgehog mushrooms and other late-autumn fungi in the same mossy conifer ground. It often shares ground with sphagnum and feather mosses, and appears around the same time as the last golden chanterelles fade.
It is one of the last good edible mushrooms of the year, often picked under snow, and its hollow stem is genuinely tube-shaped, which gives the species its name tubaeformis meaning trumpet-shaped.
Fresh ones keep only a few days in a paper bag in the fridge, as they bruise and go slimy quickly. Drying is the best long-term method since they dehydrate fast and rehydrate well; they can also be sauteed and frozen.
Dry-fry briefly to drive off water, then finish in butter and use in cream sauces over pasta or with game. It dries very well, so a large haul can be powdered or rehydrated later for soups and stews where its mild flavour concentrates nicely.
It is most often confused with the false chanterelle (Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca), which has crowded, true forking orange gills rather than blunt shallow veins, and with other small brown funnel fungi. There are no deadly lookalikes that share its combination of brown funnel cap, decurrent vein-like false gills and hollow yellowish stem, but small brown mushrooms should always be checked carefully.
