Mushroom course in Stockholm and Uppsala

Do you only dare to pick chanterelles or a few single species of edible mushrooms? Do you want to learn more about edible mushrooms and ensure a well-stocked mushroom basket and winter pantry? Then this is the mushroom course for you! Put on your boots and grab your mushroom basket, it's time for a mushroom adventure! We meet at a designated place in a nice mushroom forest. We'll go over basic facts about mushrooms and mushroom picking, how to recognize different groups and where to actually find mushrooms. Then we go out into the forest for about 2 hours, looking for mushrooms and talking about characteristics and food value. We aim to pick 10-15 different species of edible mushrooms and when we have filled the baskets, we run a mushroom test of these species over an open fire.

Mushrooms don't just taste like mushrooms. The palette of flavors, aromas and textures is bigger than many dare to believe! We'll make coffee, have coffee and nerd out together in the culinary world of mushrooms.

Our mushroom courses are popular in Stockholm and Uppsala but can be held in other locations as well. Please contact us for more information.

Mushroom knowledge with Elles Utemat

Fungi play a crucial role in the natural cycle. Their significant ecological impact comes from their ability to break down dead plant material and participate in nutrient recycling in nature. In addition, fungi establish symbiotic relationships with plants, exchanging nutrients and supporting plant growth. Increasing your knowledge of fungi is crucial for identifying and avoiding poisonous fungi, as well as recognizing edible ones. A deeper knowledge of fungi will give you a richer experience of the forest.

Elles Utemat is an expert on edible mushrooms. I'll teach you everything you need to know about edible mushrooms and with the help of our mushroom excursion, you're guaranteed to develop your knowledge and gain a deeper understanding of the world of mushrooms.
