Mushrooms: an ancient story
Mushrooms have been eaten for millennia โ gathered in the Stone Age, a delicacy in Roman cuisine. The Greeks thought lightning created them; in China they symbolise luck and long life.
Fungi have lived on Earth for hundreds of millions of years and helped plants conquer land. They decompose and live in symbiosis with tree roots โ also around the Zollhaus (nature around the Zollhaus).
