Class description
We have always been fascinated by the world of mushrooms, but the fear of stumbling upon poisonous species when picking mushrooms is often great — and rightly so! During our mushroom hike in Berlin, you will learn how to safely distinguish edible from poisonous mushrooms under the guidance of two experienced mushroom freaks.
How does this activity work?
Our mushroom tour in Berlin gives you an exciting insight into the life of mushrooms: Where do they grow, what significance do they have for our environment and how do they not only enrich our diet? However, the focus is on reliably identifying the most common edible mushrooms and distinguishing them from poisonous mushrooms. You will also learn the most important rules of conduct to avoid mushroom poisoning.
The approximately 3-hour tour is aimed at beginners and people with basic mushroom picking skills. After the course, you will receive an email with a list of the mushroom species found and some profiles. Since the presence of mushrooms depends heavily on weather conditions, the course content is adjusted according to the mushrooms found. Please note that no mushrooms are collected during the tour in order to protect stocks.
