August mushrooms under stress: expert warning for Brandenburg!

August 2025 shows its heated side in Brandenburg. With temperatures above 25 degrees and persistent drought, mushroom collecting in the region is extremely difficult. Although July brought with it a veritable mushroom explosion due to heavy rainfall, especially summer boletus, the current situation is anything but favorable for collectors. Mushroom expert Wolfgang Bivour reports that only a few mushrooms were found during his explorations in mid-August; Underneath he discovers a small chanterelle that is not worth harvesting. There are also some larger chanterelles and a pearl mushroom in his basket, but this does not reflect the desired quantities of mushrooms. According to rbb24, such temperatures can be fatal for mushrooms.

Bivour warns urgently about the green death cap mushroom, which can have fatal consequences if mixed up. He advises beginners to start with boletus, as they are not poisonous and are relatively easy to recognize. It is also advisable to call in mushroom consultants to identify and examine the finds collected. In Brandenburg there are several mushroom poisonings every year; some of them are even fatal. Bivour estimates that the next mushroom season will not be worthwhile again until the end of September, although this depends heavily on the weather.

Important aspects of mushroom picking

  • Durch Trockenheit und hohe Temperaturen ist das Pilzwachstum beeinträchtigt.
  • Reichliche Regenfälle im Juli führten zu einem temporären Anstieg des Pilzangebots.
  • Erfahrene Sammler und Berater sind essenziell, um sichere Erntepraktiken zu gewährleisten.
  • Jährliche Pilzvergiftungen verdeutlichen die Gefahren beim Sammeln von Wildpilzen.

In addition to the challenges of mushrooming, public health facilities such as hospitals are becoming aware of their role in the community. They should reflect the values ​​and needs of the population, as emphasized on the World Health Organization website. Resilient hospitals are able to maintain and expand their services even in crisis situations. This is supported by well-planned infrastructures required for reliable healthcare.

An effective hospital environment maximizes clinical care and ensures the well-being of patients and staff. Adequate technologies and supplies are needed to meet the special needs of, for example, children and the elderly. Well-thought-out management structures and regular service quality controls ensure that continuous improvements in the healthcare system are promoted.
