During the trip, you will be introduced not only to mushroom picking strategies, how and where to look for the most secret families of porcini mushrooms, but you will also hear the forest safety protocol. And it is important, because the Dzūkai used to say, “Gudo šalalėn klimpo ne rozų, ba ty vis akivaran kokis tai biesas nutįsdavo.”

And what kind of Storytelling Mushroom Train would it be without musical therapy? Do you still feel nostalgia and a smile appear on your face after seeing last year’s joint train choir videos? This year the bar is raised even higher – passengers will move to the rhythm of romances at the Mushroom Festival.

After all, what is a romance if not a painfully beautiful love story? And in the forest, there is more love than you can imagine. Here a porcini secretly presses against the moss, and a red mushroom looks longingly at the birch top. Even the most hardened mushroom pickers sigh among the rustling pines and squirrel meadows, so romance in the Dzūkian forest sounds surprisingly natural.
