Is mushroom picking legal in Switzerland?
MycoWiki answer
There is no single permission that applies throughout Switzerland. Rules may vary with the canton, municipality, landowner, period and protection status of the site. Some authorities set closed days, quantity limits or special conditions, while a protected area may prohibit all removal. Permission to walk along a path does not automatically mean that mushroom collection is allowed.
