Mushroom map of Switzerland: where and when to look

How a mushroom map combines habitat and weather to compare promising areas across all 26 Swiss cantons.

Quick answer

The Cepello mushroom map does not publish harvest coordinates. It estimates the potential of Swiss areas by combining habitat, terrain, trees, soil and recent weather. It helps decide where mushrooms may be worth looking for while preserving the uncertainty of nature.

01

Find mushrooms without publishing exact spots

Cepello compares areas rather than secret points. This scale helps visitors read regions and elevation bands while protecting sensitive forager data. Guides cover all 26 cantons, including Vaud, Bern, Zurich, Graubünden and Ticino.

02

Habitat, weather and season on one map

Suitable habitat is not enough when the ground is dry. Recent rain is not enough without partner trees or the right season. The map connects these signals without claiming certain presence.

03

Look for porcini, morels, chanterelles and black trumpets

Each species follows different habitats and timing. Use the map with species profiles and cantonal guides, then check local foraging rules before setting out.

Does the map show where mushrooms are growing now?

It shows relative area potential from available data. It does not detect present mushrooms and never guarantees a harvest.

Does the mushroom map cover all of Switzerland?

Yes. The first Cepello map focuses on Switzerland and all 26 cantons.
