Stalker notes that there is to be a crackdown on how people forage mushrooms in Cyprus.
If one goes about it the wrong way, or uses an implement to help in the act of foraging, then one might get hit with a big fine or a year imprisonment.
Protection of the forest regions of Cyprus is the mainspring behind the tough rules. One can imagine maybe a touristic fungiphile perhaps falling foul of the law.
It pays to know the local laws of the land before one goes mushroom hunting it would seem!
