- Event website
On 10 October 2026, a mushroom walk invites you to explore autumn fungal life in its natural setting. The event combines a theoretical introduction with an outdoor forest outing to observe mushrooms on site.
The programme includes a hands-on introduction to identifying common edible species and the toxic ones you absolutely need to recognise. A table presentation lets you examine specimens up close and reinforce the knowledge gained. The guided forest walk then completes the experience by giving you direct contact with the undergrowth where various species grow.
Wear shoes suited to damp trails and bring an open basket for collected specimens—never a plastic bag. In autumn, moisture makes forest paths slippery: adjust your pace accordingly. Above all, remember one golden rule: never eat a mushroom unless its identification has been confirmed by a qualified expert.
