Just like previous years, there will also be a Mushroom Day in Blondehuset this year.

A wide variety of freshly picked mushrooms collected in the Bergen area in the days prior to the event will be on display. This is a fine opportunity to learn more about the mushrooms in your locality.

Soppforeningen i Bergen has experts on hand to help you get started with mushroom picking, or help you extend your repertoire if you already have some experience as a mushroom picker.

The grounds at Milde are normally a good place to look for mushrooms, and we warmly encourage you to take up the offer of getting your mushrooms controlled afterwards. Or, if you pick mushrooms elsewhere, you can stop by Blondehuset for a mushroom control.

You can also buy mushroom soup made from mushrooms picked by us (controlled by a mushroom expert).

This year we also have a mushroom quiz.

Mushroom experts will be available throughout the opening hours to identify your mushrooms.

Organiser: Soppforeningen i Bergen (Bergen Mycological Society) (member of the Norwegian Mycological and Useful Plants Association).
