Forest Foray Yields Few Chanterelles: A Belarusian Mushroom Hunter's Tale

A Belarusian man's quiet forest foray turned up a surprising find—or rather, a lack thereof. Returning to a patch of chanterelle mushrooms he'd previously discovered, he found most of the harvest had been taken by others. "We came back to collect them," he said in the video, "but someone beat us to it." The video, shot on a phone in a Belarusian forest, highlights the simple pleasures and occasional disappointments of mushroom hunting. The small number of mushrooms left behind serves as a reminder of the shared nature of natural resources.
