How do I find my matsutake?
To find matsutake, search in pine forests as they form symbiotic relationships with these trees. Hunt in the late summer to fall when they typically fruit. Look near the base of pine trees where the soil is moist but well-drained, and moss is present. Matsutake has a distinctive spicy aroma which can also guide you. Use a gentle touch to avoid damaging the mycelium. Note: foraging for matsutake is regulated in some regions, so check local laws before you start.
