MUSHROOM COURSE AND TASTING UPPSALA

Did you know that Swedish forests are home to around 150 species of edible mushrooms? These hidden treasures are a fantastic resource for anyone looking to become more self-sufficient and adventurous with their food. Mushrooms are not just delicious and fun to forage—they’re also nutritional powerhouses packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and proteins.

If your foraging experience begins and ends with chanterelles, or you only feel confident identifying a handful of species, this course is your chance to expand your horizons! Imagine filling your basket with a variety of edible mushrooms while learning how to safely identify, harvest, and enjoy them. Put on your hiking boots, grab your basket, and get ready for a flavorful adventure in the heart of the forest!

We’ll meet at a scenic spot in a lush forest, where we’ll start by covering the essentials of mushroom foraging: how to identify different species, understand their characteristics, and discover where they’re likely to grow. Then, we’ll venture into the forest for about two hours, hunting for mushrooms and discussing their features, flavors, and culinary uses. Our goal is to collect 10–15 species of edible mushrooms, filling our baskets with nature’s finest.

But the fun doesn’t stop there!
Once we return from the forest, we’ll gather around an open fire to taste the day’s harvest. You’ll be surprised by how many flavors, textures, and aromas mushrooms can offer. We’ll brew fresh coffee and enjoy a selection of Swedish delicacies, along with signature mushroom spreads and tastings, recipes from my mushroom book. Together, we explore the culinary magic of mushrooms in the most authentic way — right by the fire.
