Experience the fascinating world of mushrooms up close
On Sunday, November 1, 2026, the State Natural History Museum Braunschweig invites you to the Mushroom Exhibition. From 09:00 to 17:00, nature lovers, mushroom collectors, and curious families can discover a diverse selection of freshly collected local mushrooms.
Living natural history between edible mushrooms and poisonous ones
The members of the mushroom circle of the Society for Natural History e. V. gather, identify, and present the exhibits with great expertise. The exhibition makes visible how differently mushrooms appear in color, shape, surface, and structure. In addition to edible species, poisonous mushrooms and dangerous look-alikes are also in focus – an important contribution to environmental education and safe mushroom identification.
Models, microscope, and mysterious UV light
Detailed models of typical edible and poisonous mushrooms complement the fresh finds. In viewing the work in a natural history sense, fascinating insights into the hidden morphology of mushrooms are revealed. Under UV light and in the stereomicroscope, familiar natural forms appear with a surprising spatial and color effect. Thus, the exhibition combines scientific precision with an immediately sensory aesthetic experience.
Knowledge, advice, and cultural education for the whole family
A varied program deepens the unique art experience: Lectures, mushroom advice, information on the use of mushrooms, and practical insights into mycology invite exchange. For children, a mushroom painting corner offers a creative access to nature. The exhibition connects museum presentation, biological expertise, and family-friendly communication.
Conclusion: An extraordinary museum day in the name of mycology
The Mushroom Exhibition promises an educational exhibition atmosphere, surprising nature observations, and intensive insights into the diversity of local mushrooms. Those who want to learn about forms, colors, and scientific connections not just from books should experience this special artistic natural science event live at the State Natural History Museum Braunschweig on November 1, 2026.
