Russia has long been famous for its forest resources, among which mushrooms occupy a special place. The Moscow region is the most popular place for "quiet hunting". Chanterelles, russula, honey agarics and aspen mushrooms - all kinds of mushrooms can not be found in the forests near Moscow.

You can consult with more experienced relatives or friends - inveterate mushroom pickers, and even go with them to the forest. But what if you don't have such acquaintances? In this case, reviews of other people will help you, as well as a special map with mushroom places.
Map of mushroom places of the Moscow region
Looking at the map, there are 10 main directions with mushroom spots:
Now it is worth considering each of them in more detail.
Belarusian direction
Galitsyno station: walk along the tramway to the Butynya River. A little further you will see a path that will lead to a small forest field. Most often there are honey mushrooms, chanterelles, porcini mushrooms.
Petelino Station: take the road to the Opushka partnership. There is a forest road from the edge. Just walk along it 100-150 meters and go into the forest. As you know, there are always full of chanterelles and honey agarics.
Zvenigorod station: on the eastern side there is an old plot (the place where the forest was harvested). It is there that you can find placers of deer - little-known, but very tasty mushrooms.
Kiev direction
Station Dachnaya: in any direction of Sadovaya Street we go out into a long section of forest in which the Aprelevka River flows. Walking along the edge of the forest, from the side of the field, you can collect more than one basket of milk mushrooms.
Pobeda station: the station itself was closed in 2016, but next to it there is a platform with the same name. We pass from it along Proletarskaya Street into a dense pine forest and find such mushrooms as chanterelles and russula.
Selyatino station: along Bolnichnaya street we leave for the Serafimosarovskaya church. Behind it you can find a huge number of forest roads, passing along which you can cut chanterelles on the sides, or go into the forest and look for porcini mushrooms.
Kursk direction
Hryvno station: walking along Pobedy street, you can get to Dubrava Culture and Rest Park. It contains special signs indicating the main mushroom locations.

Paveletskoe direction
