The mushroom harvest season has started earlier than usual this year. There are now plenty of chanterelles and tats in the forests, but also other good mushrooms. The best mushroom catches are found in lush forests.
You should now head to the forests with a basket of mushrooms. The filling in the basket is sure to be found.
– This year, I think the mushroom season started exceptionally early. At the end of July, really big catches of buckwheat began to appear in people all over Finland, says biologist and mushroom expert Jarkko Korhonen.

Smelly acids are pungent and are not recommended as edible fungi in Finland.
There are now a lot of pungent odors
Even on a short mushroom trip, you can find many good food mushrooms in the terrain of Korpilampi, Espoo: cyanobacteria, deciduous butterbur, chanterelle.
This year, a particularly large amount of chlorine-smelling odoriferous acids seems to be growing. The taste of the fungus is very pungent and removing the pungency would require many soups or long soaking.
– For my part, I cannot recommend it as a mushroom, but I know that in Russia, for example, it is a popular marinade, Korhonen points out.

Wheat mushroom is a delicious edible mushroom.
The sponge mushroom belonging to the seitsik is a great edible mushroom
Instead, the mushroom is a delicious edible mushroom with clear characteristics: a honey-brown cap with a little purple on the surface, a ring-shaped ring on the leg and a northern lights pattern on it.
– It’s a beautiful, mild fungus that belongs to the seits, but you don’t have to be afraid of it. It does not look like any toxic seits. We have 600 species of seits and only one of them is deadly toxic, Korhonen knows.
Korhonen also has a favorite recipe for making sponge mushrooms.
– I fill the cap with cream cheese and on the best day I could wrap it around bacon. After that, bake in the grill or oven.

Mushroom expert Jarkko Korhonen found a bluegrass roach.
Mushrooms are now found in the lush forests
If you haven’t already found your own secret mushroom spot, you might want to look for lush forests.
– I wouldn’t go through dry pine fabrics yet at this point. I would go to more lush forests, where there is spruce, maybe birch and aspen, Korhonen characterizes a good mushroom forest.

The fragrant rectangle is not a sponge, but it is suitable for coloring.
Odor is also important in identifying fungi
In addition to appearance, odor plays an important role in the identification of fungi. For example, a fragrance that smells like marzipan is not a mushroom, but is well suited for coloring. Whether the mushroom summer continues to be good depends entirely on the weather.
– If it rains and heats alternate, I would think that the mushroom season will remain good, says Korhonen.
