Description ?:	The forest act proceeds from the general legal rule that any part of the forest belongs to the land owner, this including besides of timber all other plants or animals etc. The main regulation concerning mushrooms and berries goes with the regulation in §33 of free access to everybody "for recreational purposes". It then assumes that collecting things to a minor extent goes with the recreational use, and that the owners will implicitly accept this minor recreational use as long as they do not say otherwise. They are allowed to forbid collection of NWFP and they are allowed to ask for fees, but have to announce this properly, e.g. through sign posts. There are, however, normally not allowed to fence the forest (which would go against §33).
