I think you make it sound more exotic than it is. People pick mushrooms around the world. Slightly more common in SE-Europe, a bit less so than a few decades ago. People tend to stick to the 1-2 species they know best, poisonings are extremely rare.
- krastanov 3y agoFair point, but I am surprised to hear that. My US friends (New England) have been extremely surprised when they hear that foraging for mushrooms is common where I come from (on the rare occasions when this comes up).
- one_level_deep2 3y agoIt is also pretty common in parts of the US. They probably don't know about that either. I know people who go morel hunting every spring in the midwest (Iowa and Illinois, specifically). https://www.thegreatmorel.com/regional-morels-midwest-region/#:~:text=Those%20in%20the%20northern%20parts,a%20very%20popular%20spring%20pastime https://www.thegreatmorel.com/regional-morels-midwest-region....
