MUSHROOM BUSINESS 3
Maybe you are reading this bumper edition of Mushroom Business on your flight. Or you picked up a copy at our stand. Or you might have fished it out of your conference bag and are waiting for the next lecture to begin in the Muziekgebouw. One thing is sure, if you decided to stay at home you will have saved a lot of money, but you will also be missing out on what promises to be the most exciting event in the mushroom universe, that opens on 29 May. Mushroom Week in the Netherlands unites – for the second time – the Dutch Mushroom Days and the ISMS Congress. The first time was in 2000, in Maastricht. But the history of both events dates back much further; this is the 34th time the trade fair has been organised. The ISMS Congress also has a rich tradition, which started in 1951, when its pre- sident Atkins, opened the first, experimental ISMS conference, and researchers such as Sinden, Bels, Pizer and Hauser presented papers. That was in the era that mushrooms were often still cultivated in caves in the Netherlands, and annual production was around 220 tons. Realising this double event was not without its obstacles. The way it had to be organised, and the funding of the whole happening were subjects of heated debate. But with 80 stands in Den Bosch, dozens of lectures and presentations and hundreds of registered participants in Amsterdam, plus a host of social events on, and outside, the official programme, the curtains are about to go up on a week packed with interesting events that will live on long in the memory of the participants. In his closing speech at the conference in 1951 Atkins summed it up perfectly: ‘Interesting and pro- vocative as many of the papers were, the greatest value of the conference has been in the personal contacts made and the range and depth of the private talks’. That’s what it’s about. I am looking very much forward to meeting you at the Welcome Reception my company has sponsored, or at our stand (4) at the entrance to the fair. Welcome to Mushroom Business. Welcome to the Netherlands.
