In the end, a bell called the mushroom hunters back to the manor for lunch. Even though originally the hunt had been Telimena's idea, she must have been, as the Notary observed, looking for mushrooms in the trees, as she returned empty-handed from the wood. So did her two suitors, Thaddeus and the Count. We don't know who won the Judge's competition. Nor does the poem mention what happened with the mushrooms others had collected. We can only guess.
