<\/div>[vc_column_text]For our \u201cNature by Marsupio\u201d photo shoot day, we chose a location of great importance to our local area: the Montello Hill. This hill of clay-red soil rises to an elevation of just over 300 meters to the south of Piave river; to the inhabitants of the many towns surrounding it, it is known as the \u201cgreen lung\u201d for its lush vegetation. The hill was already known during the times of the Venetians dating back to the era of the Serenissima Republic, who harvested its timber to supply the Venetian shipyards. Over the intervening years it has been completely deforested, with the ancient oak forests being replaced by farmlands which yielded poor harvests, up to the current ecosystem comprising a great many varieties of tree, but mainly the introduced invasive species False Acacia.
\nIt is in this microclimate that one of the most renowned gastronomic products of the area thrives: the famous honey mushroom (Armillaria Mellea), known to locals by its dialect name \u201cciodet\u201d. This mushroom grows spontaneously during fall and develops a range of flavors influenced by the species of tree trunk they are found on. Because the predominant False Acacia tree species on the Montello Hill has a low concentration of resin compared to conifers, the mushrooms that grow on it get their unique and renowned taste, a reason of great pride for local food lovers.[\/vc_column_text]

FROM BASKET TO RUCKSACK: HOW SHOULD A MUSHROOM RUCKSACK BE CONSTRUCTED?<\/h6><\/div>
<\/div>[vc_column_text]In the past, people used to use a classic wicker basket for picking mushrooms. But nowadays, this been replaced by a safer and more convenient mushroom rucksack. The increased safety is provided by the fact that you no longer have to hold the basket in your hand, and thus both hands and arms are free; a detail that should not be underestimated for excursions on steep terrain, which is the ideal environment for mushroom growth.
\nFeatures characterizing the best mushroom rucksacks are:[\/vc_column_text]
  • <\/i><\/div>
    Mesh bottom, to allow spores fall through. In most of the mushroom picking areas, regulations state that when transporting picked mushrooms, their spores must be able to fall to the ground, in order to favor the growth of new mushrooms.<\/div><\/div><\/li>
  • <\/i><\/div>
    Good aeration of the mushrooms.<\/div><\/div><\/li>
  • <\/i><\/div>
    Reasonable capacity and internal partition. When large quantities of different varieties are picked, it is essential to preserve the freshness of the product, including the ones at the bottom. The ideal model is Forest 50 RF<\/strong>, which, thanks to its mesh divider positioned at half height, ensures mushrooms are not crushed, and at the same time divides mushrooms according to their variety.<\/div><\/div><\/li>
  • <\/i><\/div>
    Really comfortable padded shoulder straps, combined with an extractable strap to be used if necessary. A padded and breathable back system is also ideal for transporting heavy weights in comfort over long distances. <\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>
