Suillus granulatus near Semyonov: where to look

Suillus granulatus — botanical illustration

Suillus granulatus: the species in brief

How to tell it

A yellow-brown to orange-brown cap that is sticky in wet weather. The pores are yellow and young specimens may produce small milky droplets. The stem has no ring.

Where it grows

Closely associated with pine, especially in plantations, heaths and woodland edges.

In the kitchen

Young caps are best. They can be fried or preserved, and many cooks peel the sticky skin first.

Nutrition

Low in calories with small amounts of protein and minerals.

This is a note about the species, not about what is in your basket. Full card with lookalikes →

Been out in Semyonov? Tell us how it went

No sign-up, five seconds. Reports are visible to everyone and help us check the forecast — where people say “nothing out there” and the model promises a flush, the model is wrong.

How much did you find?
When were you out?

This form does not ask for coordinates. What gets published is the name, the rating and the text — nothing else.

Common questions

Are there mushrooms in Semyonov in September 2026?

Today's foraging index is 67 out of 100. It is built from two weeks of rainfall, soil temperature, the length of the dry spell and each species' season, and it updates daily.

Which mushrooms are picked around Semyonov?

There are too few records for this region to name species yet. We will not list them «from the field guide»: an unconfirmed list looks exactly like a confirmed one and is worth something else entirely.

How accurate is this forecast?

It is a model of weather and season, not an observation of the wood. It answers «is this week worth a trip» well, and it does not know what is growing round the next bend. We measure its accuracy against independent records and publish the result — without that number a forecast stays a promise.

The index is high but I found nothing — why?

The index reads weather and season — things that are the same for tens of kilometres around. It does not know your particular wood, and that is where the mushroom grows. The usual reasons: wrong trees — every species has its own, and no weather makes up for the wrong stand; the wood was felled recently or is young — the mycelium takes years to recover; the spot is picked out — everything near a road or a car park goes over a weekend; the flush has been taken — you came a day after those who came on time; or the flush passed and slugs and larvae got there first, which the model cannot see. The reverse holds too: a low index does not mean an empty wood. It means the conditions are against you, not that there is nothing there.
