Day out in forest

In the morning of this day our family decided to take a day off and have some good time in the forest. These days in our country everyone who gets the chance to go to forest can't refuse the occasion to pik some mushrooms. We did almost the same thing. We were picking mushrooms in several places they are located almost in the same forest, but they have some distance between each other. We were lucky to find some good mushrooms in several of visited places. But two places was a completely with no eny mushrooms. Probably others visitors (if I can name them so) were faster and picked them some time earlier.

The most popular mushroom was like these:

In Lithuanian they are called: "umėdė" and in english - "russule".

Also we have found and more valuable mushrooms, they look like these:

In Lithuanian they are called: "baravykas" and in english - "boletus". These mushrooms and others who are related to this one are, I believe, the most desirable catch to every picker.

Generally speaking, edible mushrooms are used extensively in cooking, in many ciusines. However, a number of species of mushrooms are poisonous, and although some may resemble edible varieties, eating them could be fatal. Thats why we tried to pick only the ones that we knew are edible.

The process of picking mushrooms is useful and in other meens, not only the fact that you find them. Also it is very useful to be in a fresh air, breathe it.
