When I lived in the Czech Republic in 1998-9, mushrooming was a widespread activity; even though we have no shortage of edible fungi in the UK, I know precisely two people who go out collecting wild mushrooms.
Apparently this is a peculiarly anglo-saxon cultural thing as, for instance, the French have no such aversion to fungi.
My parents have gone hunting for mushrooms on occasions. But then we did go though a whole weird 'we live in the countryside - lets exploit it' kick after having moved from London.
