The 32nd Dutch Mushroom Days will take place on the 25th, 26th and 27th of May in the Brabanthallen in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. With 80 stand holders, not only from the Netherlands but also from other countries, it will be one of the biggest “Mushroom Days” ever. The organisation, Stichting Champignondagen (Mushroom Days Association), expects more than 2500 visitors from the international mushroom world, including a big Chinese delegation.
During 3 days the capital city of Noord-Brabant will be a collection of many nationals that will come to Holland to inform themselves about the newest developments in the world of mushrooms. For the Dutch suppliers it is a perfect platform to get in touch with mushroom companies worldwide, and around the trade show, the biggest of its kind globally, some other activities take place, including an international workshop in Horst on Monday and Tuesday, only for invitees.
