Is it for Saturday? I would like to take my daughter with me, she loves such trips.

Paweł Nowak
Yes, for Saturday. Good thought about my daughter, my Ola also once went with us on a similar trip to the Białowieża Forest and to this day she remembers the mushrooms she found there. It'll be fun.

Anna Wilson
Maksym, Paweł, where exactly are we going on Saturday? My eldest daughter also once liked to collect mushrooms, like Ola in Bialowieza Forest, maybe our Katya will want to join.

Sounds good for Saturday. My kids are still too little for a full mushroom hunt, but if it's the same woods as Paweł mentioned with the Białowieża trip, maybe we'll tag along next time when they're bigger. Anna, does your Katya remember picking any specific mushrooms from those old trips?

So Saturday? Nice. My youngest daughter, Eleni, when she was about ten, had found some mushrooms that I didn't know what they were and put them in the basket along with the porcini. Luckily I threw it all away before we got home. Where exactly are we going? Maybe near the border?
Γ
Γιάννης Θεοδώρου
No, away from the border, towards the mountains behind Hortiatis. Good thing you threw away those mushrooms, Eleni at ten probably didn't know how to tell them apart yet. We'll take baskets and gloves along, just in case we find some good porcini.

Sure, Anna, we’re heading to the woods near the old monastery grounds on Saturday, same spot as last fall. Your Katya is welcome to join — tell her to bring a basket and wear good boots, the ground gets pretty muddy after rain. Hope she enjoys it as much as Ola did.

Saturday seems like a good idea to me. My little niece, who is eight years old, is a bit like that ten-year-old Eleni: she once put some strange mushrooms in the basket that looked like portobello but smelled terrible. Do we also bring something to snack on after searching, or just the baskets and gloves?

Good for you, Despina, you don't play these things. I remember that I had collected something unknown near my village a long time ago and boiled it without asking - lucky that nothing happened to me. However, we will go towards the forest after Hortiatis, not near the border at all. Will you come with Eleni?
Α
Ανδρέας Παναγιωτόπουλος
Yes, you did well and threw them away, Despina. I still remember my father telling me "whatever you don't know, don't do it". Theodore, after Hortiatis towards the forest sounds good. Will you get a ball together? I'm thinking of coming, but I still don't know about Eleni.

Соломія Кузьменко
Yes, exactly on Saturday, at 9 am departure from the church. Take your daughter, it will be interesting there - we will pick apples and have lunch in the garden. And how old is she?

I'm glad that Ola also has such nice memories from the Forest. Last year, my son and I found a basket full of boletes there, so we had to borrow a bag from the forester. What time exactly do you leave on Saturday?
M
Marek Szymański
I'm glad that you also found boletes, this year we only collected a few boletes along the path to Zwierzyniec. And we leave on Saturday at 7:30 from the parking lot next to the church. Would you like to join with your son?
