Foraging forecast: Calabria

Conditions in Calabria in November 2026 are middling, index 39 out of 100; of the species we model, honey fungus is closest to its flush. There will be something, but you will have to look: check which of the coming days reads higher and go then.

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: 25 to 57, measured at 49 stations. Among towns the highest is Lamezia Terme (57) and the lowest Melito di Porto Salvo (25). 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.

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.

Forecast by town

Every town is computed on its own: the index is taken at the measurement point nearest to it, not averaged over the region. Neighbouring towns can differ by tens of points.

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.

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