Under this licensing program, individuals interested in collecting wild mushrooms are required to obtain a Generallizenz Pilz, which grants them the legal permission to do so. The program is designed to educate and create awareness among mushroom pickers about the importance of sustainable harvesting methods and the ecological impact of their activities.

To obtain the Generallizenz Pilz, applicants need to attend a mandatory training course that covers topics such as mushroom species identification, conservation guidelines, ethical picking practices, and safety precautions. These courses are conducted by qualified mycologists or experts in the field of fungi.

One of the primary objectives of 301173G PSS SB HYD is to protect endangered mushroom species and their habitats. As part of the licensing program, specific areas, known as "Pilzschutzgebiet" or mushroom protection areas, are established where mushroom collection is strictly regulated.
