In practice, the mosaic of properties provides opportunities for other companies to set a contract with a private owner in the same area and in fact to collect mushrooms from state forests in the detriment of the companies which have a contract with NFA. The capability of control of NFA in this direction is reduced so picking is still done chaotically in most of the areas
