Take a look

Join us on a magical autumn walk through the beautiful Donkere Duinen and discover the fascinating world of mushrooms! In autumn, the forest floor becomes increasingly bare, meaning we often encounter many different species. With unusual names like honey mushroom, fairy benches, and sulfur tufts, there is much to discover during this trek.

This forest is known for its wide variety of mushrooms, such as the red cabbage mushroom, the collared earthstar, and the iconic fly agaric. Can you find them all? Fun for young and old! Along the way, you will learn all about the role of mushrooms in nature. Are they edible? Can you smell or taste them? Discover the world of gilled mushrooms, pore mushrooms, and much more.

Important cleaners

Mushrooms play a crucial role in the ecosystem. Together with bacteria and soil organisms, they help break down organic waste, such as dead leaves and plants. This process provides new nutrients, which trees and plants benefit from in the spring.

Tip: This excursion is also fun for children!
