A weekend filled with knowledge, flavour and the fascinating world of mushrooms. The course combines theory with hands-on sessions and suits both beginners and those who want to deepen their knowledge. All you need to bring is curiosity.

Day 1 · Species Knowledge and Forest ExcursionWe start with the basics: the parts of a mushroom, taxonomy and how to identify common edible mushrooms and avoid lookalikes. Then we head into the forest to forage together and practice species identification in the field.

Day 2 · History and PreservationWe explore the role of mushrooms in Swedish history, myths and stories. You learn about different ways to preserve and prepare mushrooms, such as drying, pickling and cooking, and you get to make your own mushroom fermentation to take home.

Both days include a plant-based lunch with mushrooms at the centre.
