Knowledge that comes alive in the forest
The first part of the program focuses on lifestyle, biodiversity, and methods of mushroom identification. After that, participants will head out to the forest, where findings will be discussed together, and theoretical contents will be directly deepened. Important questions regarding suspected poisoning cases and proper behavior in the forest are also included. ([visit.freiburg.de](https://visit.freiburg.de/einfuehrung-in-die-pilzkunde))
