Where to buy mushrooms? (Not the magic ones)
thanks! What is your favorite place to buy mushrooms (food!)? I am looking for a place with good prices and variety. Tired of my local Edeka selection.
thanks!
If you're near Friedrichshain, check out the produce market at Boxhagener Platz on Saturday mornings. There's a stand run by a Polish family that brings chanterelles and porcini when they're in season, and they always have fresh oyster mushrooms year-round. Their prices are noticeably better than the organic shops in the area. For dried ones, I'd stop by Dong Xuan Center in Lichtenberg, it's a hike but the selection of wood ear and shiitake is massive and cheap.
If you're looking for variety beyond the standard supermarket stuff, hit up the Turkish markets. The one on Maybachufer in Neukölln has a few stalls with a really solid selection of fresh mushrooms, like kräuterseitlinge and giant portobellos, often for half the price of Edeka. For something a bit more curated, FrischeParadies near Friedrichstraße is pricey but has an incredible range, including seasonal wild mushrooms when they're around.
honestly just hit up the turkish markets in neukölln. maybachufer on tuesdays and fridays has stalls with like 6 kinds of mushrooms for dirt cheap. way better than any supermarket selection. also the little asian shop near hermannplatz, "go asia" i think, has dried ones and fresh enoki if you're feeling fancy.

What is the correct spelling for a street name that appears differently on multiple signs in Charlottenburg?
Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.
if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point
honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
