Family Excursion: Exploring the Realm of Mushrooms

Description

Discover mushrooms, understand the forest🍄 How many different mushrooms actually grow in the autumn forest? And what role do they play in the ecosystem? Together with an expert from the Glarnerland Mushroom Club, we will go in Braunwald on the search for mushrooms. Along the way, we will discover and identify various species and learn about the important role mushrooms play in the forest, such as in decomposition, nutrient cycling, and as partners of trees. We will also take a closer look at what makes a diverse and healthy forest and why mushrooms are so important for biodiversity. The found mushrooms will be discussed and identified together at the end. Collected only for learning and identification purposes. Mushrooms for personal use are not allowed to be taken during the excursion. The excursion is open to everyone who wants to discover the fascinating world of mushrooms together. Families, adults, and children are very welcome! Route🥾: From Grotzenbüel, we hike towards the mountain station of the Braunwald cable car. The route goes over forest paths and is easily walkable.
