Rules
In Slovakia you may pick mushrooms for your own use. The Malé Karpaty CHKO is mostly at protection level 2, but picking is banned in reserves at levels 4 and 5. Illegal picking in protected areas brings an on-the-spot fine and an administrative penalty.
About the forest
The Little Carpathians run northeast from Bratislava and are the closest mountains to the capital. Beech and oak in the Malé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area (CHKO) give boletes from early summer. It is the busiest mushroom area in western Slovakia.
