Mushrooms
A traditional villagers' activity, which provided people in villages with extra money, has become a tourist attraction: mushrooms collecting. In sunny autumn days, our forests get a new kind of inhabitants: people from towns. Mushrooms Walks, Mushrooms Days, Mushrooms Workshops. A great variety of events to teach people how to recognize edible ones, to pick them up, to clean them. Nothing is forgotten, not even cooking.
Pine forests show their beautiful treasures, as this one which has an appealing grey pearl,
or this other one, like a snow ball. However, instructions have to be carefully followed to avoid accidents. Beware the most colourful ones and you'll survive.

We also have this activity, for example in the Northern part of our country, a colder area with more mountains, called Moldavia. And we also have many sayings and proverbs about mushrooms, such as "as frequent as mushrooms after rain", or a joke-riddle for young kids: "a monastery standing on one leg- guess (a mushroom) what it is?". It's funny, because it includes its own answer, and yet at one time I asked a little boy and he said : "Aaaa...tree?"
Enjoy the mushrooms!
