A note on identification
This profile is a guide rather than a guarantee. If you are considering eating a wild mushroom, check the whole specimen and its possible lookalikes carefully. Do not eat it if you are unsure of the identification.

The Shroomify Research Project

What the records suggest about Scarletina Bolete

The project has analysed over a million matched fungal events from Europe and North America alongside weather and habitat data. The patterns may be useful wherever the same fungus occurs, but local climate, trees and soils can change the response.

Elevation

Records tended to come from higher ground, about 194 metres above the average elevation of fungal records in the study.

Weather or season?

Recent weather added a smaller but repeatable signal after the normal seasonal pattern had been allowed for.

Weather response

When does this mushroom tend to appear?

The middle line means there was no difference between this species and other fungi recorded in the same area and part of the season. Warmer and cooler always mean warmer or cooler than normal for that place and time of year, not absolute temperature.

Soil moisture

Drier than normal soil 31 to 60 days beforehand was linked with more records.

Each point is a separate matched comparison for that weather measure and time window. Clear results must have a meaningful effect, adequate geographic coverage and the same direction in odd and even years. These are associations in field records, not rules or forecasts.
