They might be able to link you with a good group. I just Skyped my uncle yesterday and he reports that this year has been amazing for harvesting mushrooms, especially the baravikas. He has never seen so many. I’d go to the market and talk to the standholders. They might be able to link you with a good group.

Can you advice me which one is good and which one is bad. and is there a group of expert mushroom pickes that I can join? Thanks Hello,

It would have been great, but illegal, to smuggle some home and scatter the spores in hope of enjoying them here. I don't know of anywhere they are actually cultivated. Instead, experienced hunters go to their particular spots in the woods. Some preserve them by marinating them, but I didn't see them for sale in the grocery stores. Looks like you'll need to plan a trip to experience them firsthand. These ephemeral experiences are what make travel such a delight. Oh, I wish I could as well.
