Embark on a mushroom foraging trip by boat to the secret mushroom forests along the shores of Lake Saimaa with the passionate mushroom enthusiast Saimi Hoyer! Guiding the boats are the impressive nature photographer - known for his stunning nature captures - Timo Seppäläinen and Aki Virolainen, an avid fisherman who frequents the waters of Lake Saimaa.
Mushroom hunting is just one reason to venture into nature. The Mushroom Expedition on Lake Saimaa offers a holistic and unique experience. Because nature cannot be commanded, and nothing can be demanded from it, each excursion is its own adventure. Especially when the captains decide thedirection based on the winds and their instincts. We might discover a land filled with mushrooms along the shoreline or stumble upon a spicy treasure like the Chicory Rose, which many culinary enthusiasts hope to learn to identify. Possibly we'll have the chance to admire a seal basking on a rocky shore or witness the happiness of a loon family as we enjoy our snacks. Days in nature are always different.
You're curious, perhaps a novice in the world of mushrooms or a seasoned enthusiast who's always on the lookout for new mushroom species to add to your repertoire. You might even be a mushroom aficionado, eager to discover what culinary delights can be concocted from dried mushrooms that have been sitting in your pantry for years. Or perhaps you simply want to explore the vastness of Lake Saimaa, its coves and shores in a new way. We have many stories to share about it as well.
