This year's pine mushroom production is significantly challenged by an extended heat wave that delayed harvesting by two weeks, resulting in a drastic drop in yield compared to last year. As of September 30, only 459 kg have been sold versus 24,250 kg the previous year. Pine mushrooms require specific temperature conditions for optimal growth, which were disrupted by high temperatures. Although temperatures have recently become more favorable, the overall yield is unlikely to reach usual levels. The full-scale harvest is expected to start around October 10, but concerns remain about potential sharp drops in nighttime temperatures, especially in high-altitude areas, which could further impact production.
