Caça ao cogumelo em um parque nacional

Sointu was absolutely fabulous, from carrying all our lunch items, to telling us about the trees, moss, lichen, mushrooms, folklore etc, to the pleasant car journey to and back! We had such an amazing time walking through the forest and thanks to Marina, a fellow traveller, found so many different varieties of mushrooms, including porcini and chanterelles. The lunch was fantastic and the rain didn't ruin the experience. Highly recommend! Although it was disappointing we didn't collect enough mushrooms to cook

Great!!! It was a wonderfull’day and everything was well organiser!!

It was an awesome experience that we would not forget! We had seen a lot of mushrooms in Finnish forests before the tour, but we had no idea what they were and whether they were edible. So we were really happy to find this mushroom hunting tour! Jeff was a wonderful guide who’s passionate about nature and mushrooms. He shared a lot of mushroom knowledge with us and guided us to gather loads of chanterelles, plus 2 porcinis which were really hard to find! He was so kind and friendly to our 10-year old boy who kept bombarding him with questions. The tour isn’t exactly cheap but we all think it’s well worth the money!

Our guide Mari was charming The mushrooms were there and the meal was delicious TY Mari

Mushroom Hunting with Taiga Times was one of the best experiences I had on my 2 week trip across Northern Europe. Our guide Jeff was fantastic and super knowledgeable about mushrooms and all other plants and animals that we encountered. The guide in training Mary was also polite and funny making for a wonderfully charismatic combo with Jeff. They really made us feel welcome and elevated the experience significantly. 10/10 highly recommended!

I was able to enjoy Finland in autumn in a national park. Lunch was also served, but the mushrooms I picked myself were very good. Our guide Jeff was very kind, and there were many others, so it was good to take the plunge◎

This was such a fun experience and allowed us to get out of the city for a bit a breathe some fresh air. Because we went to a smaller and less popular national park, there were still blueberries and lingonberries we were able to forage in addition to the chanterelle mushrooms we set out to find! Our guide knew exactly where to find them, so we were able to have some yummy butter sautéed mushrooms on rye toast at the beautiful shelter by a lake. The salmon soup was yummy, and other treats as well. On the hike back we found some porcini mushrooms as well our guide was very stoked about making for his dinner! Was the hike challenging? No, it was very flat and the trail was wide and easy to navigate. A great idea for someone who wants to dip their toes into the outdoors and get out of the city on their trip.

This outing was a great way to spend a day in the forest in Finland. Our guide was charming and knowledgeable about foraging for mushrooms and berries. We enjoyed a delicious lunch of smoked salmon soup, prepared by our guide and mushrooms that we had foraged that morning. I enjoyed our day immensely!

It was great to get outside the city and see the forest. The mushrooms were plentiful and gigantic, bigger than anything I’ve ever seen. The guide was great and I would highly recommend the experience.

We had a great time learning about and foraging for mushrooms at Liesjärvi National Park. Jeff is incredibly knowledgeable about the forest and a very friendly guide as well.
