REGIONAL GUIDE

Odenwald: check the actual map coverage

Coverage matters when planning a walk towards Odenwald. PilzSpur does not yet have a separate dataset for the whole Odenwald. The southern part of Frankfurt’s 50 km search area is available.

Available data coverage

The linked area is named Darmstadt / Kranichstein. Its mapped forests extend south to about 49.66° north. Not all entries are in Odenwald. The count below therefore explicitly refers to the Darmstadt map area. Do not extrapolate these conditions to forests farther south.

2,496 Map entries in the described search area.

Porcini and bay boletes: compare conditions

Choose a mushroom group to compare mapped tree groups and regional weather. The model has profiles for porcini, bay boletes, chanterelles, birch boletes, slippery jacks, saffron milk caps and parasols. Suitable conditions do not confirm mushrooms or edibility.

Season and current conditions

The season in Hesse depends on rainfall, temperature and moisture trends. A calendar month alone is not enough to plan a walk. Open the map for available weather, history and forecasts with timestamps and data gaps. This guide does not claim a current, verified field situation.

How the conditions model works

Ten weather points serve the Frankfurt search area. The German DLR tree map refers to 2022. Forests are displayed in sections up to 500 m; this does not improve regional weather resolution. Soil chemistry, direct litter moisture and independently calibrated find probabilities are missing. Exact private observation locations are not published.

Access and forest warnings

OpenStreetMap paths and parking are orientation aids, not entry or picking permission. Recognised and located official forest warnings on the map include sources, check dates and uncertainty. Absence of an icon does not establish unrestricted access. Check signs on site.
