A real mushroom pro will meet the sun at the edge, and he will already have a basket full of forest gifts.
They say that when the sun doesn't shine all around and the dew comes out, the fungus is more visible due to the shiny hat. And when there are still few mushrooms, it’s better to hurry, otherwise you will only have “roots”, and the tops will be inboxwood of earlier mushroom pickers.
2. Do not immediately direct your feet deep into the forest
