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.

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?

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?

A chapel near ground zero was a relief center after 9/11. Now, an exhibit honors its victims.
