An International meeting place for all industry professionals.
April 22-24, 2026 – Brabanthallen te ’s-Hertogenbosch
The next edition of the Champignondagen will take place from 22 to 24 April 2026 at the Brabanthallen in ’s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. Following the highly successful 2023 edition, the organisers have chosen to maintain a similar format for this unique international trade fair for the edible mushroom industry.
For inspiration, you can still view the photo galleries and aftermovie of the 2023 edition on our website. In 2026, exhibitors will once again have the opportunity to invite their guests to the Network Party on Wednesday evening, 22 April, which will include the presentation of the Ambassador of the Mushroom Industry Award. More information on this will follow in due course.
The strong international presence of both exhibitors and visitors continues to make this event a must-attend occasion for the global mushroom sector. The organisation plans an extensive international publicity campaign to ensure broad awareness of the fair.
Registration is open until 15 November 2025.
Please complete and return the registration form to info@champignondagen.nl in time to secure your space.
Choose from four stand options:
See you in ’s-Hertogenbosch!
Kind regards,

The mushroom sector: we are all part of it. Everyone who is directly or indirectly involved in giving consumers daily choices from a wide range of delicious mushrooms is a partner in our industry. For decades, the sector has experienced tumultuous developments and this is unlikely to change in the coming years. Many people who are active in the mushroom sector do their utmost to give their company or organization a good future.
However, there are also those who develop initiatives that transcend the interests of their immediate environment. The performance of which results in vital momentum for the entire sector. As true ambassadors, they contribute to the positive image of our mushroom sector, the landscape of which would probably look very different without their efforts.
These are the people that Stichting Champignondagen wants to reward for their enormous services to the sector by presenting the ‘Ambassador of the Mushroom Industry Award’. This award is intended for those who, as a true ambassador, contribute to a positive image of the mushroom sector. During the Mushroom Days 2023, this prestigious prize was awarded to four people.
