Gathering Season's End: Identifying Edible Mushrooms Remaining in Altai Region

In the picturesque forests of the Altai region, a mushroom enthusiast embarked on an exciting seasonal adventure. The mushroom season concluded on September 16th, but the picker's journey was far from over.

The mushroom picker's expedition began with a visit to their usual spots, where they found fewer mushrooms than expected. However, the variety remained the same, with an equal number of boletes and whites, and a delightful bonus of some porcini.

Despite the abundance of webcaps, the picker chose not to collect them. The taiga, with its unique flora and fauna, offered new experiences, including encounters with unusual bugs.

The picker ventured beyond their familiar territory, exploring the taiga for the first time. This brave move was rewarded as the forest provided fairy ring mushrooms, a rare find that had not been discovered in two years.

The majority of the white mushrooms collected were small, but one spot yielded a bounty. Two buckets of white milk caps were gathered from these 'special' spots, a testament to the hidden treasures the forest holds.

The mushroom picker's unique spots for gathering mushrooms remain undisclosed, adding an air of mystery to their successful season. The search results do not reveal who discovers the giant mushrooms in Altai or the exact time of these findings, maintaining the allure of the forest's secrets.

As the mushroom season draws to a close, the picker reflects on the beautiful weather and the memories made in the Altai taiga. Despite the end of the season, the excitement for next year's adventure is already building, as the forest promises more hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.
