Wild mushroom picking organisation, "Niš", is a non government, not for profit organisation dedicated to bringing nature lovers, mushroom enthusiasts and microbiologists together. Their founding members include two PhD educated scientists, three graduated biologists and quite a few lichen experts. They formed just over seven years ago, and since then they've been attracting attention from both the tourism and agriculture industries. Milorad Doderović spoke with Srdjan Lazarević from the organisation about how the group navigates pretty from poison.
