There are hiking paths that seem quite ordinary but soon will no longer be so – one of those is the nature trail in the Poruni ancient forest. When the Reisijutud.com people were there 15 years ago local people told about bears that in the night visited hikers sleeping in their tents in the middle of nowhere and put their noses inside the tent to find out where the delicious smell of food came from. And a local mushroom picker suggested cunningly to pick those ”rubber mushroom”: “I don’t want them, but leave the ceps for me”. He called the chanterelles ”rubber mushrooms”.
