Introduction to Mycology

Forests are full of hidden treasures, among which mushrooms hold a special place. Boletus edulis, Earthball, Hedgehog mushroom, Fly agaric, and Russula are just a few examples of species that animate our woodlands.

Beyond their often unfamiliar appearance, these organisms hold many secrets: their development process, life cycle, and essential contribution to the balance of forest ecosystems.

Did you know, for example, that they play a key role in biodiversity by helping decompose organic matter and forming symbiotic relationships with trees?

To uncover these mysteries and learn to identify them, let yourself be guided by the enthusiasts of the Mycological Society of Strasbourg, who will share their expertise and passion for these fascinating beings.
