However, the mass germination of boletus and other forest products is likely to end soon.
“This year there were few squirrels, probably due to a too dry summer. There are many boletus, but their season is over. Purchase prices are average. We have been processing large quantities for several weeks in a row, ”says Modestas Masevičius, director of Giriai, which is dedicated to buying and processing mushrooms.
This business is structured in such a way that the processors do not buy from the population. It is the bread of the small buyers who supply forest goods to factories.
“We see that the season is coming to an end. The mushrooms grow in waves and the wave of the last few weeks subsides. In a week they will run out because cold nights are unfavorable for them. Unless there is a summer called bob, when the heat will favor germination ”, explains M. Masevičius.
In addition to boletus, macaws and silkworms are also bought, and there are squirrels. Its season The season lasts until the end of October.
Interestingly, there were so many mushrooms that they even led to the creation of a kind of business – the forest catch for lazy mushrooms was delivered directly to the house. Ukmergės žinios wrote about it.
By sharing the gifts of the forest, he even created a group called “Mushrooms” on Facebook. It also shows the Ukrainians.
Group member Natalija wrote that she found 98 boletus in a mushroom, and after a few days she went to the Viliukai forest and collected 416 boletus and 9 oregano in just 3 hours. The woman was glad to have managed to find not only large boletus called kings of the forest, but also small ones, perfect for marinating.

The wisdom of mushrooms
Mushrooms have to make an effort to find them: get up early in the morning and hurry to the forest to arrive earlier, because in the afternoon only the cut stems remain, especially on weekends. It’s not for nothing that you say, “Get up early, find him.”
But there are those who say that “everyone has their own mushroom”, no matter when it is canned. How many people walk the same forest trails, and some families of mushrooms hidden in one place or another notice that some, others pass. They find theirs elsewhere.
Jonas from Ukmergiškis said that he had picked up a bucket full of boletus right next to the forest road, only after getting out of the car. Unable to go further into the forest due to a pain in his leg, the man, who had brought the other mushrooms, waited for them, and while waiting, he found his catch.
Another Umergeant said that the fungus goes twice a day. Visit the same places in the morning and at night, adding new brown hats during the day.
Mushrooms are rushing to collect produce until the moon is correct, because when it changes, mushrooms start to like it.
Some share places where mushrooms grow in good faith, telling them in what forest and in what neighborhood or at what time they sold their products, others describe them very vaguely: “in the forest”. However, it can be seen that this year there will be enough mushrooms for everyone.
Mushrooms are delivered to the house
When looking around the Ukmerg mercado market, the stalls laden with mushrooms are also pretty to look at. With a good combination of them this fall, many other mushrooms will no longer be available.
However, squirrels or scabies cannot be found anywhere.
The price per kilo of boletus in the market ranges between 8 and 12 euros. A kilogram of squirrels sells for 8 euros and a jar of scabies can be purchased for 2 euros.
It is convenient for people, they do not need to lift their feet into the forest, and they are self-sufficient in mushrooms. Buy them in buckets, baskets and bags.
Internet increases competition for market traders. It is offered to buy boletus here for 6 or even 4 euros per kilogram, sometimes even with home delivery.
And there are boletus donors, so those who are afraid of ticks, it is not necessary to wander through the forest.
If you like to grow mushrooms not only in your area, but also to look around other forests and woods, it is worth knowing that traditionally mushroom forests delight more in the forests of Dzūkija, and in Samogitia you have to walk more. However, the people of Aukštaitija this year are also happy that the collected mushrooms are enough for both dinner and winter.
