My dad used to take me mushroom hunting for morels here in the US when I was a kid, and this is actually the truth. He would take me on the weekends to the more public spots, and when he didn't have me during the week because I was staying with my mom, he would go to his best spots and I'd come back the next weekend to him having giant bags full of mushrooms.
He died when I was 13 and I know literally 0 of his best mushroom hunting spots.
