but I have found Ceps at the end of June (in 2007) |
Talking of Ceps Pete, I know you like to keep records of weather patterns and such, any thoughts on how this coming season is shaping up? |
Hello Stewy, yes, I do like to do this. I believe that to get a good autumnal flush we need a nice dry and warm summer followed by rain in the late summer/autumn. I know that I'm not the only one that believes this. We also know that if we get a wet summer then the autumn (if it rains or not) is nearly always pants for fungi.
If you look at 2006 we had a very dry and hot summer. This was followed by rain at the end of August. There wasn't a lot of rain (it was just average) but the rain was consistant, without a real break and without a long dry spell. This lasted throughout the autumn and into the winter. As we know the autumn of 2006 was a great season.
This year we've (well down south at any rate) had little real rain since the beginning of April. June was the warmest and driest since 2006. July looks to be similar too. I believe that if it rains by the end of August and we get average to above average rainfall in the autumn, it'll be a great season.
The fungi that I'm seeing at the moment, for example: chanterelles, green cracking russula, chicken of the woods, oyster mushrooms, silky volvar... I normally see in mid-June. i.e. everything seems to be about a month late. Not sure if this means that the rest of the season will be late too. |
