Production and collection of morel mushrooms purchased at 350 liras per kilo in Beyşehir and Derebucak districts of Konya.
Morel mushroom, which grows naturally in the spring season in the forested areas of both districts, makes people of all ages smile when they collect it for the purpose of income to the family budget. Especially after the rains that have been effective in recent days, the citizens who are mobilized to collect the morel mushroom, which has started to be seen more in nature, take part in a work that continues for hours during the day. Elvan Dural, one of the residents of Beyşehir district, stated that they started to collect morel mushrooms in mountainous and forested areas with the arrival of spring every year, "We collect it more for family food, but morel mushroom, which is collected by many people to earn income, is in demand from many families. Those who go out to mountainous and forested areas to collect mushrooms walk for hours and kilometers, we believe that this year will be a more fertile harvest season than in previous years. I wish everyone a fruitful harvest period."
