One of the afternoons, while in Cluj, we go with friends into the forest near the city for mushroom hunting. It is supposed to rain so we try to be fast but in the end it is just a cloudy day with barely no showers. The trail starts near a hotel with a cool pool that supposedly is used for parties but not today.
First we climb up using the logging road which is quite used by trucks and enjoy views of sheep in the distance while trying to find a good path into the forest.
Soon we start to find mushrooms and into the forest we go. There are quite a few boletes and some other mushrooms that we don’t necessarily know but our friends do and collect.
There are also lots of other mushrooms some of which might be poisonous as far as we know but they actually look quite beautiful and nature. With the rains there are mushrooms growing everywhere so we have to be careful not to squish too many as we walk on the forest floor.
We continue on for some time finding lots of mushrooms that we all donate to our friends as we do not have time to really prepare them all.
We also visit our friends home which is near one of the new apartment buildings that looks like a ship but has some beautiful views as far as we can tell.
And whenever we visit our friends we eat some homemade food, in this case it is our mushrooms collected the previous days. They are quite good, and we survive to eat the interesting bread pudding afterwards!
