Europe Edition
"The Pied de Mouton is of old the mushroom, which is strongest and can be found for the longest period, despite the disappointing natural circumstances, but this mushroom is now also just about exhausted" Piet tells. "The Girolles were very scarce the previous week and also the Chantarell Jaune & Grise were only scantily available last week. Now it looks like a number of weeks without Girolles. "Small quantities of Girolles from Africa will be available, but these only have a limited durability."
"Chantarell Jaune & the Trompette de Morte will have to come from America as the Portuguese production is just about finished" the mushroom dealer continues.
"Pied de Mouton will be available for a short while, but this product will be finished quickly as well, after which we can possibly obtain Hedge Hogs from the USA. That is the American variant of the Pied de Mouton."
"We now wait for the production from the Balkans. It could, however, still take a little while as in certain areas a lot of cold weather and snow were experienced. Of course we know that as soon as the snow has disappeared the mushrooms could come up in mass and that may result in sufficient or a lot of production. We have experienced this before. It is almost as if the mushrooms in the ground quietly wait their turn and then produce as much as possible and as soon as nature allows" Harold concludes. "Time will tell. It is a fact that in the coming two to three weeks not too many Girolles will be available."
