Pilzverein Biel & Umgebung

The Mycological Society of Biel & Vicinity is an association founded in 1931. Its main objective is the study of higher fungi in an accessible way. The club organizes discovery evenings and introductory courses in mycology. Many members initially want to learn how to distinguish edible mushrooms from their poisonous counterparts. The study also extends to the biology and ecological role of inedible or non-toxic fungi. Activities include weekly meetings to identify mushrooms brought in by members. The society welcomes anyone who wants to learn more about the fascinating world of fungi.
