Mushroom Collection in Germany
In Potsdam, Germany, an old tradition has found new life as people flock to forests to collect mushrooms.
Wolfgang Bivour, a renowned fungi connoisseur, carefully collected various species of mushrooms, including brown-capped porcini, bay boletes, slimy purple brittlegills, and honey-colored armillaria, as well as the lethal green death caps.
According to Bivour, the different species were collected in an oak and beech forest on the outskirts of Potsdam in eastern Germany.
Among the collected mushrooms were brown-capped porcini and bay boletes, as well as the lethal green death caps.
A basket of freshly collected mushrooms was displayed on the forest floor, showcasing the variety of species found in the area.
