A mushroom-picking event took place at the Leśniczówka Olszyny in 2019. The autumn gathering gives a stay a historical connection; its schedule at the time can be clearly outlined.

An autumn mushroom-picking event

The three-year break before the gathering was due to a storm and the subsequent clean-up work. On 5 October 2019, the mushroom-picking event returned to the Leśniczówka Olszyny. After a welcome and a brief briefing, shortly after 10 a.m. almost 70 pickers of different ages headed into the forest. After collecting mushrooms, the participants gathered around a campfire; the forester then presented the results in individual categories. The schedule combined setting off together with a later review, illustrating the occasion as an organised gathering. If you would like to plan a trip around an event, check for a current event date in advance.
