Mushroom counselling

Anyone who goes mushroom hunting in order to eat them afterwards should know their way around - otherwise eating mushrooms can have serious consequences.

If you are unsure about how to identify the mushrooms you have found, you can contact the following advice centres. Counselling is free of charge.

The mushroom counsellors can only be contacted by telephone without fixed opening hours.

It is expressly pointed out that mushroom identification cannot be carried out by telephone or e-mail. A clear identification is not possible even with a good description or a photo. A complete mushroom must be presented.
