The midsummer rain gained momentum on the chanterelles

There has been little rain in the summer. There is a ban on watering and there is a warning of fire risk in many places. But when the rain finally pours down, the mushroom enthusiasts wake up.

In Sweden's forests, and perhaps mainly in mixed forests with birch, spruce and pine, chanterelles are emerging.

Mushroom consultant Kill Persson in Halmstad has discovered chanterelles in both Halmstad and Falkenberg, and believes that it is the midsummer rain that has gained momentum on the yellow mushroom.

- If it has rained 20-40 millimeters in 7-10 days then you should go out and start checking their chanterelle places, he says.

Chanterelles are sought after by many, but since the chanterelles have not been able to grow large, mushroom pickers have to ask if it is worth waiting a week to get back to large and fine chanterelles or leaning ground.

- It is always a trade-off to let them grow for a few days or be before the neighbor.
