For mushroom pickers in Poland, autumn usually means baskets of porcini, chanterelles and other fungal treasures.
But two foragers in south-central Poland got a very different kind of surprise: unexploded artillery shells.
In one case, a picker spotted an object that looked like an unexploded bomb. Police identified it as a 45 mm artillery shell and secured the area.
Another mushroom hunter found an 88 mm shell. The munition, believed to date from World War II, was later secured and removed by a military bomb disposal patrol.
