Today, after a weekend of collective disappointment, we want to explain why there are no mushrooms in some woods. How many times have you had friends who've "stocked up" on porcini mushrooms, shown you the place where they've harvested their abundant mushrooms, and when you arrive, you find nothing? Perhaps, if you're lucky, just a handful of insignificant mushrooms and maybe a couple of suspicious species that even the most daring wouldn't dare put in the pan because they're probably toxic. And then, as you return home, you begin to insistently wonder why there are woods that never produce anything. We want to explain the reason, even if you won't like some of it.
