Abstract

Mushroom hunting is one of the most popular forms of leisure in Poland. It plays a role in the economy: over 10 thousand ton of fresh weight and about 300 ton of dry weight of edible mushrooms come into the market every year. But apart of the economy this is very important for people's recreation although it brings a serious problem for nature protection. The specific problems of mushroom hunting recreation as well as the dangers for people and for nature are discussed.
