On October 10, 2026, a mushroom walk invites the public to get an introduction to the identification of mycological species. The event combines a theoretical component with a field outing in the forest.
The day is structured in three parts: an introduction covering the basics of mycology, a table-top identification of the main edible and toxic mushrooms, then a discovery walk in the undergrowth to observe species in their natural habitat. The goal is to acquire a few simple reflexes that allow you to distinguish, in the field, what can be harvested from what should be left in place.
Bring good walking shoes or boots, clothing suitable for autumn weather, as well as a basket or paper bag for any potential foraging. If in doubt about a specimen, it is best to refrain: mushroom poisoning is common this time of year and some misidentifications can have serious consequences. Check the schedule, registration requirements, and the exact programme for the day on the organiser's website before travelling.
