When you say mushrooms, you think of autumn. That is also the most important season, but there are also mushrooms in the spring, emphasizes Natuurpunt. A minority of species even only appear in spring. The condition is that it is wet enough. This is the case this year; some less common spring mushrooms are even being reported in a record number of locations.
“The large spring cup fungus was observed in Averbode Bos & Heide. This large cup fungus that grows on coniferous wood had not been seen in Flanders for a long time,” says Natuurpunt. The species was even thought to be extinct.
