To find these secret places are often not talked about by the persons who have there regular place to find them. So you just need to do a bit of hiking around the countryside and hope to get lucky.


Just to warn you that if you find wild mushrooms, you can only pick 1kilo or less. If you have more, you will have a huge fine. Last week someone in the Swiss Italian region picked 14.98 kilos, he was able to keep 1kilo and was charged a huge fine for the 13.98kilo.
