For lovers of "quiet hunting" Krasnodar Territory is a kind of "Mecca" for picking mushrooms. Due to its location in several climatic zones at once, this region is considered the most popular for fruiting of any types of mushrooms. The cep, which is the "king" among fruit bodies, is especially appreciated in the Krasnodar Territory.

Due to the variety of weather conditions and the difficult relief of the Kuban, the region has steppes, a picturesque ridge of the Caucasus Mountains, and the sea coast. Huge deciduous forests give way to dense coniferous forests. The variety of mushrooms in the Krasnodar Territory is comparable only to the Far East. However, the peculiarities of the soil and climatic conditions make it possible to pick mushrooms for a long time, for example, from May to November. We offer you to see numerous photos of porcini mushrooms taken in the Krasnodar Territory.

Very often they grow in shrubs, in clearings, where sandy or clayey soil predominates. Especially many porcini mushrooms are found in the vicinity of the villages:

The porcini mushroom grows both in small groups and in single specimens. Therefore, if you find one such delicacy, take a look around and look for its relatives.
