mushroom picking
Hunting edible fungi
Mushroom picking is the activity of foraging for wild mushrooms, typically in forests or fields.
The practice ranges from casual hobby to serious pursuit, requiring knowledge of edible versus poisonous species: We went mushroom picking after the rain.
In some regions, particularly Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, mushroom picking is a cultural tradition passed between generations.
