Forest food
The Czech Republic lies in the middle of Europe. At least that is the common belief of the people living in here. That doesn't exclude that the people living in Austria, Swiss or perhaps Slovakia cannot believe in the same. Let's leave them in their sweet ignorance because it is evident to me that it is only the Czechia that can prides with the "CENTRAL" attribute. After all the Austrians have their Mozart, the Swiss their bankers and the Slovaks very pretty girls...
The position in central Europe means - there is no direct border with a sea. To overcome that we believe that our forests are a kind of a sea. The Sea of Trees. Well, it is not the same as the forest that is located at the base of the sacred Mount Fuji that attracts crowds of visitors not only for its dramatic beauty but for some of them as a suicide site . The forests in the Czech Republic are also in the summer flodded by the vast numbers of visitors that are searching for.. guess what ... yes MUSHROOMS. I can understand that for many people this may sound like attempted suicide but belive me it is not. Mushrooms are great. An old folk wisdom says: All the mushrooms are edible. Well, fair enough some of them only once...
As an orthodox Czech with some German roots I cannot do differently. The following snapshots covered my yesterday's trip.
NOT Edible though it looks great.
