Mycologist Michael Wisniewski assessed the situation with mushrooms in 2020.
“Every year, kind of unusual, and in terms of singularity 2020 is no different from the previous one. In principle — Yes, for mushrooms to go. On a scale of five this year can be evaluated on a solid four”, — he said in an interview with kp.ru.
According to him, the fruiting affected the climate — winter almost never came, and spring was pretty cool and long.
“And in the spring and summer there was a constant mess with the temperature changes, when the heat gave way to rain, and it only stimulated the mycelium fruiting” — said the expert.
As noted by Wisniewski, wave of the summer of mushrooms began in mid-may and is not going to stop.
“And in July due to the cool weather began to grow autumn mushrooms. Collect pautinki, autumn mushrooms, some blewits and Govorushko,” — said the expert.
