Mushrooms are a popular feature of Poland national cuisine. Forget about the bland mushrooms you get at Western supermarkets - mushrooms that grow naturally in Poland are full of flavor. Polish people seek out their mushrooms in the forest; this is a tradition that usually involves the whole family.

The autumn mushroom season's harvests offer restaurant chefs the opportunity to include Polish mushroom delicacies on their menus. Be sure to sample dishes featuring mushrooms if you travel to Poland in the fall.
