The Experience
What your day looks like
This guided foraging tour from Helsinki immerses us in the forest and the magical world of fungi. Bright oranges, golden yellows, and deep reds decorate the forest floor. We are in search of Finland's most delicious and prized edible mushrooms, the chanterelle. It is also a personal favorite here at us. However, as the name suggests, it is a hunt! We will not always find what we are looking for, and although most mushrooms are harmless, there are many poisonous ones too. But not to worry, for your guide will be able to show you which are edible and is always available to explain the different fungi you have found.

Detailed Itinerary
The journey, in full
Once we have arrived at Liesjärvi National Park, our group will begin their hike through the forest to some of our favorite mushrooms picking spots. Your guide will tell you what mushrooms can be picked and eaten. When our group has gathered enough mushrooms, we will make our way to the campfire by the lakeside. While your guide starts the fire and prepares a traditional Finnish-style lunch with campfire coffee, there will be plenty of time to take photos, enjoy conversation with one another, and experience the peace of the Taiga forest. The group may have the chance to cook and taste any mushrooms that have been picked. After lunch, the group will continue to explore the natural beauty of Liesjärvi and we will make our way back to the starting point. We will drop you off in Helsinki feeling relaxed from this wonderful adventure.
