Rules
In Czechia you may pick mushrooms in forests for your own use with no limit. Picking is allowed in the Beskydy CHKO, but national nature reserves have a stay-on-path rule and a picking ban. Selling mushrooms from someone else's forest is banned, and driving onto forest roads brings heavy fines.
About the forest
The Moravian-Silesian Beskids are the highest Czech part of the Carpathians, within the Beskydy Protected Landscape Area (CHKO). Spruce and beech on the slopes of Radhošť and Lysá hora give mushrooms from July. It is a favourite area for pickers from Ostrava and Moravian Wallachia.
