The only publicly recognized mushroom consultation center in Saarland!
From Friday, September 9, to Friday, October 28, Hochwald Tourism, in cooperation with the district of Merzig-Wadern, offers free mushroom consultation in the seminar room of the WEZ – Information Center of the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park, Am Wildpark 1. The exact times are Tuesdays and Fridays from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM, as well as Mondays from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. There will be no mushroom consultation on October 4!
Hans-Werner Graß, member of the German Society for Mycology, identifies the brought-in mushrooms as poisonous or edible mushrooms. For the reliable identification of mushroom species, four to five specimens are needed, if possible, in different stages of growth.
Information hotline of the advisory center during consultation hours: 01 51 / 59 86 91 73 (Only during the mushroom season!).
The mushroom advisory center, the only publicly recognized mushroom advisory center in Saarland, has become an important contact point for mushroom collectors and enthusiasts from Saarland, Rhineland-Palatinate, and adjacent Luxembourg. In case of mushroom poisoning, the advisory center or Hans-Werner Grass as a mushroom expert cooperates with the treating hospital. Educational work is also carried out about ecological relationships as well as the lifestyle and significance of mushrooms for nature.
