Mushroom season

Mushroom season

Grzybobranie, mushroom picking, is Poland's autumn sport: families head into the forest at dawn for prawdziwki (porcini), podgrzybki and kurki. September into October is the peak, and a good year makes the news.

When: Late August to October; September is the peak.
