Season: Mushrooms start in July with chanterelles. The main flush of bay boletes and cep runs from August to October.
Rules
In the west, around Żagań and Świętoszów, there are military training areas. Do not enter if you see a no-entry sign. In a drought the forest can be temporarily closed because of fire risk.
About the forest
Bory Dolnośląskie (the Lower Silesian Forest) is one of the largest continuous forest complexes in Poland, between Bolesławiec, Lubin and Żagań. Pine dominates and the soils are sandy. Pickers come from both Lower Silesia and the Lubusz region.
