How to search for Georgian mushrooms in October

Mushroom picking is an active, exciting, incomparable vacation. Everyone is available "silent hunt" with a basket in their hands. Therefore, mushroom pickers are the most numerous army among tourists and hunters. It is better to look for breasts in October with sunrise, in the dew or in the rain: the hats shine, in the eyes it does not dazzle, the sun does not blind. And then the mushrooms are the most juicy, strong, fragrant or, as they say, vigorous. To preserve the freshness of the mushrooms, it is best to collect them in a wicker willow basket.

You cannot collect mushrooms in buckets, bags, plastic bags - mushrooms crumple in them, crumble, air does not enter such containers, and mushrooms “burn out”.

Mushrooms bear fruit from spring to late autumn, but unevenly, and in waves or, as they say, in layers. In total, in the middle lane there are 3 or 4 layers.
