A keen mushroom hunter stumbled upon a five-kilo bonanza near Kömürcü.
Ali Izmirli, who lives in the village on the southern slopes of the Five Finger mountain
range, near Boğaz, shocked his neighbours by finding the giant “gavcar” specimen during a
New Year mushroom hunting outing.
Cypriot foragers take to the slopes annually after the rains begin, in the hunt for edible fungi.
