Russian Department Mushroom Foraging Expedition!

ПО ГРИБЫ": Russian dept. mushrooming expedition! On Sunday September 26, students and professors from the Russian dept. (and elsewhere) went for a delightful romp in the early-autumn woods on and around the Appalachian Trail / Velvet Rocks area. We found heaps and heaps of mushrooms; although only a small number of them were prized edibles (including king bolete—белый гриб, hedgehog mushroom—ежовик and honey mushroom––опёнок), there was plenty of learning and exploring on a beautiful afternoon. Best of all, we concluded by singing songs in Russian, Serbian, Macedonian and Italian with guitar accompaniment from Italian dept. resident advisor Andrea Zoller.

Please watch and enjoy the video.
