Mushroom scavenger hunt for kids

Mushrooms: one moment you don't see one, suddenly there are lots of them. October is the mushroom month. If you know where to look, a world will open up for you. Poisonous green or bright red, soft or slimy, edible or poisonous. The IVN's guide can also tell you a lot about them.

On Sunday 15 October, IVN Gooi is organising its annual mushroom hunt for children aged 6 to 11 in the Spanderswoud, between Hilversum and Bussum. 

The start is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the playing field next to the car park at restaurant Robert, Bussumergrintweg between Bussum and Hilversum. The tour takes about two hours and the cost is €5.00 per child. 

Pre-registration for the mushroom scavenger hunt is necessary. Along the way, you will meet IVN guides who will tell fun facts or do assignments with the children. Search for mushrooms yourself with your mushroom search card and a mirror. Bring your mirror if you have one.
