A secret that nature holds
Paul Hermann, who grew up in the idyllic surroundings of the Müritz National Park, casually found this extraordinary treasure on the way home from his car. In addition to the giant chanterelle, he also noticed two dozen other chanterelles, conjuring up an unforgettable image in the mushroom scene. However, the exact location remains a well-kept secret - only a single hunter knows the secret place where nature hides its miraculous gifts! This begs the question: What could this mysterious place of fungal resources be hiding?
Paul, who lives in Rogeez with his wife and three-year-old daughter, recently set out to delve into the world of mycology. For his 30th birthday, he received three-day training as a mushroom coach at the German Society for Mycology (DGfM), where he learned to identify mushrooms. But be careful: He is not allowed to give permission to eat! Paul is determined to complete his training as a mushroom expert as soon as possible and could soon become the superstar among mushroom experts!

This decision makes the hearts of many mushroom fans beat, who are amazed at what Mother Nature has to offer. A truly honorable place!
But that's not all: mycological research is in full swing to document the diversity of fungal species and study the effects of climate change. Citizen science projects that encourage comprehensive documentation of mushroom observations through photos open up entirely new dimensions of discovery. Who knows what other treasures lie hidden?
