Castilla y León mushroom season conditions

Overview

In Castilla y León, the mushroom harvesting season is expected to begin in the coming weeks, though its success is contingent on upcoming rainfall. While early October rains initially moistened the soil, recent high temperatures between 27 and 30 degrees Celsius have caused it to dry out again.

Experts from Micocyl note that significant production requires two to three weeks of consistent soil moisture. Currently, mountainous areas like the Cantabrian beech forests and high-altitude pine forests offer the best conditions because fog and shade help retain moisture. Conversely, the sandy soils in Valladolid and Segovia remain very dry. While the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) predicts dropping temperatures and potential light frosts, the timing and location of the harvest remain uncertain due to unpredictable rainfall distribution.
