In Ardèche, the first porcini mushrooms arrived a little ahead of time. The season promises to be exceptional after the summer drought which benefits the mushrooms.
Going through the forest in search of porcini mushrooms heralds autumn. In Saint-Cirgues-en-Montagne (Ardèche), that day, the harvest turned out to be rather good. In a few hours, the basket fills up. Two friends came from Montélimar (Drôme) for the day. For a week, Serge Ollier has been spending his time in the woods. He even has his favorite corners. On the Ardèche mountain plateau, the first mushrooms appeared after the storms at the end of August.
Mushroom pickers follow one another at Patrice Ceyte, mushroom collector in Saint-Cirgues-en-Montagne. He buys porcini mushrooms and then resells them to wholesalers or restaurants. After the dry and very hot summer, porcini mushrooms grow in abundance. Currently, these mushrooms trade between 7 and 10 euros per kg, depending on the quality of the product. With the rains of the last few days, there could be a lot of mushrooms.
