Mushrooms!

I was told that because of the cold climate and the 'generosity' of the Soviet system, picking, eating and preserving wild mushrooms and berries became an important part of Estonian culture and cuisine...I guess it was better than waiting in line for hours for some stale bread. This is a display near the main square of Tartu showing some of the types of wild mushrooms you can find here.
