The best places
If you decide to walk, you can go to:
- outskirts of the villages of Kharitonovo, Berezhki. You can get there by moving east from the Hryvno station.
- forest, which is located between the village of Lagovskoye and the village of Meshcherskoye. If you're lucky, you can even pick porcini mushrooms there.
- direction of the village of Ivino. To go there from the Lviv microdistrict is not less than 7.5 km. So you have to be patient.
By car or by bus, it is better to drive further towards villages and villages surrounded by woodlands.
Kurilovo: there are many different mushrooms, but most of all you will find honey agarics. The only negative is the large number of competitors. Sometimes there are so many people that the chances of a secluded walk are practically zero.
Voronovo: popular due to the fact that it is convenient to get there (there is a bus), and a lot of porcini mushrooms. There are milk mushrooms, honey mushrooms, etc.
In the direction of Serpukhovo: you have to go by car, but it's worth it. The forest is located on both sides of the M2 highway. By the way, you can not only collect mushrooms there, but also buy them. A large number of local residents are happy to make money on the "quiet hunt".
Shchapovo: from the station Podolsk you can get here by bus. If you have a car, it will not take long. There are many mushrooms both in front of the village and behind it. In dry weather, experienced mushroom pickers advise looking near the swamp, and in ravines - where the soil stores moisture. But do not confuse "in" and "near" the swamp. Not a single self-respecting mushroom will grow in a quagmire. Boletus, chanterelle, aspen, mushrooms grow in these places even in autumn.
Satino-Tatar: the forest is located behind the village, on the left side. You need to get there by car. They are mainly collected in those places, aspen mushrooms and mushrooms.

Precautions
You can relax in the forest, get a boost of vivacity for a long time, but you shouldn't forget about the risks either. Here are some tips to help you stay out of trouble:
- Take a compass with you.A phone with a navigator will not help if you go too far or drain the battery.
- The water supply must be at least 1.5 liters per person. Once lost, it is possible to survive without food, but water is needed.
- Even those mushrooms that are considered safe should not be eaten raw. In the forest, in case of poisoning, there will be no one to help.
- Even if it's hot, long sleeves and trousers are worth wearing. Such clothing protects against ticks and other unpleasant insects. After arriving home, carefully examine the areas of the body that have been exposed.
Irina Selyutina (Biologist):
If, when you come home, you find a stuck tick, it certainly needs to be removed. Here's how you can do it:
- With a special tool Klinver or Tick Nipper. You can buy it at the pharmacy.
- With the help of lubrication with oil - but doctors treat this method negatively, because before death, the arthropod manages to inject poison into the human body.
- Fingers wrapped in clean gauze.
- Silk or other strong thread.
Removing the tick, it is captured as close as possible to the mouth apparatus - the proboscis. After removing the arthropod, the bite site must be disinfected with any alcohol-containing agent (70% alcohol, 5% iodine, cologne, vodka, etc.)
Attention! After the procedure, hands must be washed with soap and water (very thoroughly). If the head or proboscis of the tick accidentally comes off and remains in the skin, the wound is smeared with iodine. They have to go out on their own.
After removing the tick, you must definitely consult a doctor and take a blood test. This is usually done 10 days after the bite, when the blood can already be tested for tick-borne encephalitis and borreliosis. After 2 weeks, they are tested for antibodies (IgM) to the tick-borne encephalitis virus. But for antibodies (IgM) to borrelia (tick-borne borreliosis) - only after a month.
You should not pick suspicious mushrooms so as not to accidentally stumble upon a poisonous one, otherwise it will lead to serious health problems.
