Quiet Start to Mushroom Season in Belarus

Early Mushroom Season in Belarus: A Quiet Start Grodno Region, Belarus – May 29, 2025 – Reports from Belarusian mushroom hunters indicate a slower-than-usual start to the mushroom season this year. While some enthusiasts have found early varieties like aspen mushrooms, the overall yield appears to be low. One video posted on TikTok by Anastasia Khlebys (khlebys_anastasiya) shows a small collection of just four aspen mushrooms gathered on May 28th. In the video, Khlebys jokingly states, "Today, only 4 little ones. It seems my mushroom patch needs a little rest." This sentiment is echoed by other commenters on the post, who share similar experiences of finding limited quantities of various mushrooms. The early mushroom season in Belarus is eagerly anticipated by many, and this year's slow start highlights the unpredictable nature of the harvest. While some regions may be experiencing more abundant yields, the overall picture points to a gradual start to the mushroom hunting season. The coming weeks will determine if this trend continues or if a more substantial mushroom harvest is on the horizon.
