Foraging forecast: Lääne-Viru

Yes — conditions in Lääne-Viru in November 2026 are good, index 61 out of 100, with field blewit furthest along. That is a reading of weather, woodland and season: it does not promise you a full basket, but this is one of the weeks worth going out.

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.

The region is even today: 60 to 62 across all 5 stations. There is no point picking a spot by the weather — the difference is noise. This is weather, not a catch: a higher number means better conditions, and the mushroom grows in one particular wood.

Biting insects: next to none. What to bring.

Numbers are taken at the measurement point nearest the centre of the region — a real calculation at one place, not an average over the whole area. A town an hour away will read differently, and its own page says so.

Rain against the usual

Over the past thirty days in Lääne-Viru had 39 mm — drier than usual.

The 30-year median is 58 mm; in six years out of ten it fell between 48 and 76.

This is weather, not a catch: rain decides whether the mycelium starts, and the mushroom grows in one particular wood.
