Poles pick mushrooms even in wintertime. We talked about in another thread.

Most popular species:

The grey ones: boczniak - oyster mushroom.
The yellow ones: płomienica zimowa - velvet shank
Dark crimson - uszak bzowy - jelly ear
Red and pink - czarka austriacka - scarlet elfcup

I honestly didn't know that mushrooms can be picked in winter too (I hope my grandma doesn't know about this lol). You learn all your life :))

Have you tried those winter mushrooms? (from the ones mentioned in your post I've heard only of boczniak) They have cool names, btw :)

We have been eating oyster mushrooms since they appeared in shops for the first time about 20 years ago. But recently we have our own crops from the farm - the last harvest was 2 weeks ago.

Yes, I love those names of various species in fungi, plants and animals world

Come to think of it, I might have eaten oyster mushrooms in some bigos without knowing about it :)

I think I remember seeing some photos of yours in one of the threads... But how do you grow wild mushrooms?

You`d better be careful. One day you might eat Psilocibin fungi in your bigos and then you will become badly addicted to the dish. HA!

But how do you grow wild mushrooms?

On trunks. I have shown them in Countryside thread. Simple. :)

I have to agree, some of them do look a little bit like Oyster Mushrooms.
But Oyster Mushrooms are quite tasty.
I still prefer Prawdziwy grzyb.

The latest acquisition to the collection list of Polish mushroom hunters is the American boletus Aureoboletus projectellus. Experts warn it is an invasive species. However, mushroom hunters don`t care and relish on it.

Thank you, America~!!! After providing us with NATO, Honourable Presidents Reagan and Biden, you also gave us a noble mushroom.

It has a beautiful name in Polish - złotoborowik wysmukły - Slender Golden Boletus

Most Poles consider puffballs inedible mushrooms. But they make a big mistake coz puffballs when young are tasty and delicate.
Here are the ones which grow in our orchard.

As usual in my case, fried. With some leftovers of paella-like dish and mizeria salad.
