Swiss Vaud canton imposes stricter mushroom foraging limits post-pandemic.

In Switzerland, a surge in mushroom foraging post-pandemic has led to stricter biodiversity protection measures, particularly in the Vaud canton. New regulations limit foraging to 2 kg per day, prohibit picking in the first week of each month, and restrict hours to 7 am to 8 pm. While some experts argue these rules are necessary for ecological respect, critics claim they are overly restrictive and lack evidence of their effectiveness. Concerns about environmental impacts persist.
