Talk:Mushroom picking in Slavic culture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Why didn't I thought of that before? Great work, two thumbs up! I hope you'll spend some time to correct the cyrillic names, they do not show up properly. Also, would you mind if I added some Polish and Czech names as well? Perhaps we could do a table or set of tables instead of the lists we have now? Halibutt 13:31, Jul 24, 2004 (UTC)

Yea, I was hoping someone would suggest more languages. I was thinking of maybe some sort of reference table, where the paragraphs have numeric references to the table. Any bright ideas? And yes, I have to convert the Cyrillic characters into Unicode at some point, you don't know of any fast way to do it by any chance do you? --Aramgutang 13:37, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Ooooof, I did it, converted all the Russian names into Unicode. Had to write a small PHP script to speed things up :) Let me know if you still have trouble viewing the names. --Aramgutang 15:06, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Nice work! If you're looking for more translations, I could quiz my mother and add some Ukrainian names to the table. —Michael Z. 20:13, 2004 Aug 28 (UTC)
I could add the czech names for mushrooms, if desired. Bodlina, the czech wikipedist, --83.208.83.66 16:59, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello, I was very pleased to find this article, since the pastime of mushroom picking is virtually unknown in the States. However, the article claims to talk about the culture of mushroom picking, but most of it appeared to me to be a discussion of the various types of mushrooms. As far as culture is concerned, perhaps quoting some pieces of literature would be appropriate? If am not mistaken, there is a mushroom-picking scene in Adam Mickiewicz's epic poem "Pan Tadeusz" that describes 19th century Polish nobility going mushroom picking.
- Sorry if the information is not fully satisfactory, that's all I know on the subject :) I know there isn't that much on culture, but the point is that the mushroom descriptions are meant to be interpreted as if written from a Slavic viewpoint, and is basically common knowledge in Slavic countries that has been passed down by generations. The thing is, I had never encountered the information in English, and I felt that an English version of the knowledge was needed, so I wrote it. Also note the quote "this page is also intended to serve as a reference for interpreting Russian mycology-related information" in the article. You are welcome to add any literature quotes you like. --Aramգուտանգ 03:29, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
