The wonder world of mushrooms
Overview
Intro
Under the direction of Geni Christen
They come in different shapes and colors, decompose dead organic material such as wood or leaves and thus keep the nutrient cycle going - let's get to know the mushrooms of the Aletsch Forest.
Immerse yourself in the wonderful world of mushrooms and learn more about their important function in the forest ecosystem. On a hike for young and old through the magical Aletsch Forest, we admire the variety of mushrooms and learn about the importance of mushrooms and their partners.
Led by Geni Christen, official mushroom inspector and expert on Alpine mushrooms in Switzerland
