National Mushroom day
The Mushroom Day is a common celebration in Norway, Sweden and Denmark - this is always the first Sunday in September. The norwegian association for mycology and foraging in collaboration with its 36 member associations is now responsible for the events in Norway.
Main content
The purpose is to focus on a group of organisms that mostly live in secret.
There are around 7,000 species of large fungi in Norway, and they play an important role in nature. The fungus is part of the unique interaction between trees and plants. Many species cannot exist without fungal symbiosis. The fungus also helps to break down dead trees, twigs, conifer needles and much more. This in turn provides nourishment for new growth.
A mushroom hunt can bring culinary experiences, provide exercise and increased well-being, as well as many fine nature experiences. Knowledge of nature makes the trip richer.
We hope the day will provide an inspiration for more knowledge about mushrooms and the joys a mushroom trip will give. We have many volunteers here this day who can tell about our work and maybe also inspire you to become a member.
Here it will be:
- mushroom exhibition
- sale of effects
- mushroom soup
- mushroom quiz for children.
Of course we have fungus control, it is open to everyone and applies all day.

The Norwegian Mushroom and Useful Growth Association, in collaboration with its 38 member associations, has been arranging Mushroom Day since 2009. Here in Bergen we have been holding it since 1995. In the first years there was also an exhibition on Torget, but since 2006 everything has taken place in Blondehuset.
