This discipline, already tested during the last edition, merges two challenges for a single final judgement:

• Environmental challenge: upon registration, each participant choosing to compete in this discipline will receive a plastic bag, where he/she will store all the garbage he/she finds during the competition; participants may fill the plastic bag completely, but may not use other bags; the type of garbage collected must be compatible with the bag's capacity.

• Mushroom challenge: this discipline forms however an integral part of the individual, traditional competition.

Participants to the Combined Competition take part in the Individual Competition as well (not in the Team Competition), and the mushrooms they pick are included in the rankings for the biggest and the most handsome mushroom. Participants will try to pick the heaviest amount of porcino mushrooms, in compliance with both the 3-kilo ceiling and applicable local norms. Participants who, beside the garbage, fail to pick at least one mushroom, may not be ranked. The challenge is over at the end of the time limit: early deliveries are not allowed.

When the competition's four hours expire, participants must go back to the point of departure to have their bags sealed.

Judges will calculate the rankings according to the weight of the mushrooms and of the garbage in equal measure (within the limit posed by the bag's capacity).

Participants wishing to take part in the Combined Competition must state it upon delivery of materials during the information evening.
