Foraging forecast: Castilla-La Mancha
Not yet: conditions in Castilla-La Mancha in November 2026 are poor, index 26 out of 100. Going on the off chance is not worth it — watch the next few days, a flush can start once the rain arrives.
A seven-day index for the species whose records are confirmed here — 28 of them right now. Flush phases and the factors behind the number, instead of a "chance of finding" percentage we cannot measure. Data updated 2 November 2026, 02:10 GMT.
The map is built from the measurement network — one point per sizeable town and more in between. A detailed 2.5 km grid is computed for one region so far: it needs its own run for every cell.
Across the region today: 23 to 37, measured at 30 stations. This is weather, not a catch: a higher number means better conditions, and the mushroom grows in one particular wood.
Biting insects: blackfly — the odd one. What to bring.
