All regions

Based on typical first/last flush dates for this calendar week — weather still decides.

Canada

BC Interior

Burn morels after wildfire years, then a short intense fall in the wet belt. Elevation is everything — follow snow up, rain down.

Typical window Apr 25Oct 25

United States

US PNW

Oregon and Washington are the commercial wild-mushroom engine of North America. Two seasons: spring morels, fall everything else.

Typical window Apr 1Feb 15

United States

Rockies

High, late, and fire-driven. Morels are the main commercial story. Short summer kings at elevation.

Typical window May 10Sep 20

United States

Midwest

Morel culture is a civic religion. Then summer chickens, fall hens, and giant puffballs in farm country.

Typical window Mar 25Oct 20

United States

Northeast

Oldest mushroom clubs in the US. Hens, lions, black trumpets, and a serious Amanita load. Fall is the season.

Typical window Apr 15Nov 5

United States

Southeast

Long season, high diversity, high snake-and-tick load. Chanterelles in summer heat. Lions and chickens love southern oaks.

Typical window Apr 10Dec 1

India / Nepal / Bhutan

Himalaya

Monsoon mycology. Morels (gucchi) are a high-value Himalayan cash crop. Also porcini-like boletes, ganoderma, and a deep village knowledge that outsiders should not steamroll.

Typical window Mar 1Oct 15

India / Sri Lanka fringe

Western Ghats

Termitomyces (termite mushrooms) after the first monsoon, plus paddy-straw cousins and a huge medicinal polypore flora. This is not a chanterelle forest — learn the local genera.

Typical window Jun 5Oct 10

Ukraine

Carpathians

One of Europe's great mycophilic cultures. White mushrooms (borovyk), ryzhyky, and chanterelles fill village markets. Know current access and safety notices before you travel.

Typical window May 20Nov 5

Ukraine

Polissia

Sandy pine, birch, and wetland edges. Milkcaps, birch boletes, morels in spring, chaga on birch. Some districts still carry Chernobyl-era radiation maps — use official forage advisories.

Typical window Apr 10Oct 20

United Kingdom / Ireland

UK & Ireland

September–October is the national mushroom month. Strong club culture, strict site ethics (no rakes, 1.5 kg personal guidance in many woods), and a death-cap problem in urban parks.
