HOW TO PICK MUSHROOMS

Mushrooms can be picked all year round, but there are certain times of the year when it's best to dig up these treasures! Mushrooms such as morels appear in spring, followed by summer and autumn. The arrival of the first rains after the heat will have a beneficial impact on the growth of mushrooms, which are present in greater quantities after it has rained! That's why it's ideal to go after a cloudy spell and in the morning, for the best chance of finding mushrooms.

To get the most out of your mushroom picking, you'll need the right equipment. Mushroom accessories are essential: you can't improvise mushroom picking, and it's important to pick only the ones you know! The most important accessory is the mushroom knife, which will prevent damage to the base of the mushroom when cutting, and ensure the preservation of the mushroom stumps for subsequent years. Mushroom knives have a directly integrated mushroom brush at the end of the handle, for gentle cleaning. Finally, a mushroom basket or mushroom bag is essential for transporting them.
