Foraging forecast: Sachsen-Anhalt

Yes — conditions in Sachsen-Anhalt in November 2026 are good, index 60 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.

Across the region today: 56 to 66, measured at 26 stations. 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 Sachsen-Anhalt had 32 mm — an ordinary amount for these weeks.

The 30-year median is 45 mm; in six years out of ten it fell between 25 and 70.

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