Woman from Lesnoy and family gather 72 kg of chanterelles in five hours

Svetlana Metelskaya has been mushroom picking for six years. Last season, her family set a record, and this summer they have already collected 58 kg of chanterelles. The mushrooms have to be transported out of the forest using a motorized cultivator with a trailer.

Mushroom pickers go to the forests of Logoyshchina, where they encounter bear and elk tracks. Once, they even had to call the emergency services — Svetlana's mother-in-law got lost in the forest and spent half a day there.
