What is Mushroom Hunting?
Mushroom hunting, also known as mushroom picking or mushrooming, is the act of picking up mushrooms from the wild. While mushroom hunting is done mostly as a hobby, pickers usually cook or store the mushrooms for later consumption. Mushroom picking is a family tradition in Slavic countries, especially Poland and Russia, where even small children can recognize edible mushrooms from the poisonous kind; mushroom picking is also common practice in Italy and other Southern European countries.
