Mushrooming

"Houbaření" in English mushrooming is a popular activity among Czech people. People go into the forest and pick up wild mushrooms. Even small kids are taught how to recognize edible and poisonous mushrooms. Some mushrooms have funny or kinda descriptive names such as "hřib satan" (boletus "satan" - poisonous kind of boletus), "hřib kovář" (literally translated as boletus blacksmith), "klouzek" (literally translated "talc"), or "muchomůrka červená" (in Latin Amanita muscaria but literally translated "red toadstool").
