Mushroom consultants wanted: Who helps collecting mushrooms in the northeast?

On January 4, 2025, the program Nordtour presented the multifaceted aspects of northern Germany. The focus was particularly on photographer Mario Müller from Klockenhagen, who captures animals, landscapes and seasons. Müller has published several books, including a children's book. The region around the Darß is emphasized as one of the most beautiful coastal regions of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, known for its long sandy beaches and indecent forests. In addition to cultural insights, manual businesses were also presented, such as the Bremen couple Gerdes, who founded the start-up Coastland after demolishing their cloth and woolen blankets. The company produces blankets, pillow covers and scarves made of wool.

Furthermore, visitors can visit an “open manufacturer” in Zetel once a month in order to experience traditional craftsmanship up close. Hamburg is also in focus, where there are numerous manufacturers of Morgennnels, including Baturina Homewear and MymphenRock. In the city, Yvonne Stüwe passes on her knowledge of dance shoes and offers over 100 models for different types of dance. The reigning German champion in the Aerial Hoop, Sarah Lemanski, also offers trial courses in Osnabrück. In addition, there are committed mushroom consultants in the region, as the experienced Veronika wisdom from the Rostock district, which offers guided winter fungus tours.

Current developments on the mushroom season

The 2023 mushroom season has so far been rather unfavorable, with the mushroom expert Roland Pätrow from Mönkebude pointing out the weather conditions. It was too dry from spring to mid -July, which affected the growth of mushrooms. During the cold and rainy weather until mid -August, there were numerous finds, but then a dry period followed again. Pätrow, who recently led a mushroom tour in the forest of Mönkebude with eleven participants, expressed hope for a mushroom -rich autumn due to the low temperatures and rainy days.

However, the rain has so far entered only 5 to 6 cm into the forest floor, which is too little for the Myzel. During the current mushroom search, some mushrooms such as chestnuts, butter mushrooms and chanterelles were found, especially in shady, humid areas in street trenches. Pätrow provides comprehensive information about edible and non -edible mushrooms. In the region, however, there is a lack of official mushroom consultants in the southern district, while six consultants are available in the northern part.

The demand for mushroom counseling is, according to Dr. Oliver Duty from the State Office for Health and Social Affairs (LAGUS). Mushroom consultants must take courses and exams to prove their knowledge. The district is actively looking for other mushroom consultants to ensure the supply across the board. Suggestions for creating contact points that are occupied on weekends have already been expressed.
