Mushroom picking in the Val di Zoldo
Things to do > Outdoor experiences > Mushroom picking
The Val di Zoldo lies within the area of the Longaronese Zoldo Cadore Mountain Union. To pick mushrooms in this area, all those not resident in the municipality must have a valid ID document and a permit for mushroom picking in the area valid for their trip.
N.B.: the permit does not cover the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park, because it is a protected area.
The permits can be purchased from the tourist offices in Forno and Pecol (Val di Zoldo), or by bank transfer to the current account of the Mountain Union Longaronese Zoldo Cadore (please for it contact: turismo@valdizoldo.net).
They are divided into the following categories
- daily – valid only on Tuesdays, Fridays, Sundays and weekday public holidays - € 10
- weekly – valid for three consecutive days only on Tuesdays, Fridays, Sundays and weekday public holidays - € 20
- monthly - valid for a period of 30 days, but can be used only on Tuesdays, Fridays, Sundays and weekday public holidays - € 50
- yearly – valid until 31 December of the current year, but can be used only on Tuesdays, Fridays, Sundays and weekday public holidays - € 75.
The permit is non-transferrable, and anyone found picking mushrooms without it may be fined.
As soon as you see a mushroom, you must make sure it has all the characteristics that determine its particular species, because it is forbidden to voluntarily damage mushrooms of any species. Once you have identified the mushroom, twist it slightly at the base of the stem, and place it in a wicker basket or a rigid container with air holes so the spores can disperse. It is forbidden to use rakes, hooks or any other objects that can damage the humus layer of the soil, the mycelium of the mushroom and the roots of the vegetation. The mushrooms should be summarily cleaned at the picking site. They must be ripe, not too young or old. Picking at night is forbidden.
