A walk to discover alpine mushrooms
Overview
Intro
Walk with Joachim Halgrain, expert in mycology.
Take a walk with mycology expert **Joachim Halgrain** through the fields and forests of Leysin to explore the main **genera and species of mushroom** in French-speaking Switzerland.
This **3-hour** outing will plunge you into the fascinating world of mushrooms. Along the way, you'll learn to recognise the main edible, medicinal and toxic species, while discovering their essential role in the balance of our ecosystems. Using an approach that's both scientific and sensory, you'll learn how to identify them reliably.
And if the weather is a little too dry for mushrooms, this will be an opportunity to explore **wild plants and fruit**, whether delicious... or dangerous. A fun, informative outing full of surprises to awaken your natural curiosity!
