Knowledge that leads directly to the forest
To kick off, the introduction provides the basics of the lifestyle of mushrooms, species diversity, and methods of mushroom identification. This is followed by the practical part with a trip into the forest, where all finds are discussed, and open questions are clarified. This connection of expert knowledge, excursions, and direct nature observation makes the seminar exciting for both beginners and nature enthusiasts with some prior knowledge.

The WaldHaus Freiburg as a strong event location
