"A war rages under the earth every second, a battle with chemical substances." The fungus expert and graduate geoecologist alex ulmer in mitwitz vividly and graphically described the course of fungal growth. His lecture was all about an edible growth that goes into the cooking pot for many people, but for some it could also be the last meal. "If someone doesn’t really know their way around, it’s a bit like playing russian roulette", he admitted.

Ulmer’s lecture on the fungal kingdom cleared up with prejudices fundamentally. He answered fundamental questions, which often divide opinions, with an indomitable logic. "Do you cut off a mushroom or do you have to twist it out??", the question came from the audience. Everyone was staring intently at the expert. "A mushroom is like an apple tree, only in reverse. Does the tree break if you pick an apple or separate it?? No. Why would a fungus break it? It is rooted under the ground, what peeps out at the top is only the fruit. But nevertheless I would rather turn it out, because important characteristics for the edibility are often found at the lower end of the stem. Please be sure to leave the hole clean afterwards." Also with the traditional ideas about the "mushroom season" he said: "fungi are present all year round, even in winter. Only dry phases they do not like. And regarding the quantity limit on collecting: "it is limited to a few species, but in principle, everyone should anyway cover only their own needs. Emperor’s mushroom and truffle cannot be harvested at all. In addition, one should also consider the pollution of the fungi. And do not try blob the tour with the silver spoon, which you put in the pan during preparation to determine whether the mushroom is poisonous. This is complete nonsense. Unless you have deadly searches." In general it makes much more sense to know the poisonous species anyway, because there are much less of them than the edible ones.
