Foraging forecast: Valais
Conditions in Valais in November 2026 are middling, index 51 out of 100; of the species we model, field blewit 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: 20 to 68, measured at 15 stations. Among towns the highest is Visp (66) and the lowest Crans-Montana (34). 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.
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.
Rain against the usual
Over the past thirty days in Valais had 83 mm — an ordinary amount for these weeks.
The 30-year median is 99 mm; in six years out of ten it fell between 60 and 130.
This is weather, not a catch: rain decides whether the mycelium starts, and the mushroom grows in one particular wood.
