Rules
The Norwegian right of public access (allemannsretten) lets you pick mushrooms on uncultivated land (utmark) without the owner's permission. Protected areas have their own rules (verneforskrift), so check the signs. In season you can have your mushrooms checked at a free mushroom control (soppkontroll).
About the forest
Nordmarka is a large area of forest and lakes north of Oslo, part of the Marka. People from the capital have picked mushrooms here for generations. From the centre you can take the metro to Lake Sognsvann.
