Wild mushrooms, truffle, mushroom inspector, mushroom rating, certificate of mushroom rating, mushroom rating logbook, labelling, mushroom mixture

Draft Decree amending Minister for Rural Development Decree No 107/2011 of 10 November 2011 on the collection, processing and marketing of wild mushrooms placed on the market for culinary use and Minister for Rural Development Decree No 24/2012 of 19 March 2012 on the gathering of underground mushrooms

The amendment expands the list of mushrooms that can be sold, reduces the competent authority’s administrative burden and promotes the traceability of wild mushrooms placed on the market. The additional requirements for labelling pre-packaged wild mushrooms are expected to reduce consumer fraud. The numbering of mushroom rating certificates, the introduction of mushroom rating logbooks and the additional requirements for supplementary documents are expected to increase the efficiency of tracing wild mushrooms.

The decree to be amended, Minister for Rural Development Decree No 107/2011 of 10 November 2011 on the collection, processing and marketing of wild mushrooms placed on the market for culinary use, contains a mutual recognition clause.
