Please note that there is a limit of 15 people. So, gather your mycelia web of friends and explore the decomposing organisms that flourish in Dutch autumn.

About your guide

Our mushroom guides are excited to go into the forest and discover the wonderful world of mushrooms with all of you! A short introduction:

Roos (guide 28th of November) is a passionate foraging guide and dedicated plant enthusiast. Her goal is to share her knowledge and expertise with people who are as crazy about food and plants as she is. She wants to bring back the wild in ourselves and our environment.

Lisa (guide 30th of November)will take you on a walk in Bennekom and share her passion for fungi with you. She is a plant scientist with an enormous mushroom obsession. She loves to share what makes fungi so special, and makes you look at the forest like you have never looked at it before.

What to bring?

Roos is looking forward to meeting you all and has requested we pass on this list of things to bring.

• Possibly a raincoat (depending on the forecast) and be sure to dress warm! We stand still a lot to look at mushrooms so it will not be a super active hike.
• Comfortable walking shoes
• A small notebook with a pen for taking notes or drawing
• Hot drink (coffee/tea) + your own cup/mug

Vegan snacks are provided by the Vegan Student Association (VSA Wageningen). We hope to see you on 28th or 30th of November!
