Forest Mushroom Hunter Sparks Major Search, Eventually Returns Under the Influence

In a forest near Eisenhüttenstadt, Oder-Spree district, a 60-year-old mushroom enthusiast set off an extensive search operation by the local police and fire department. The man decided to venture out by himself to forage for mushrooms on a Friday afternoon, assuring his fellow searchers that he'd find his way back home. When he failed to return by the following day, authorities grew concerned and initiated a search operation. Drones were even employed in the search, but it wasn't until Saturday morning that the mushroom picker resurfaced. His condition? Intoxicated.

The dazed individual claimed to have been robbed by unidentified individuals. As part of the investigation, some of the suspected stolen goods were discovered near his location. However, a small amount of cash and several personal belongings remained missing. The Criminal Investigation Department is now reviewing the case.

The missing items raised alarm bells, suggesting an emergency. The mushroom hunter's extended absence and the subsequent discovery of his state of intoxication underscore the importance of notifying authorities promptly during emergency situations.
