Overview

Estonia grows about 1,200 species of mushrooms with legs and caps, of which about 400 are edible. There are about 200 poisonous species, and of them, poisoning can be caused by 12-15 species of fungi. What poisonous mushrooms are similar to our beloved edible mushrooms? Is it too much for mycelium to pull a healthy mushroom out of the ground by its roots, or is it better to cut it by the leg? Mycologist Tõnu Ploompuu talks about all of this and shares his knowledge. Of course, we can only see and collect the species that nature offers us, so the basket cannot be guaranteed to be full. But it is still worth taking a bucket or a basket, as well as a small knife. Just in case, you can take an extra bag with you to separate the mild and bitter mushrooms.

At the end of the trip, the picked mushrooms will be tasted directly from the pan. We hope that the forest is generous and everyone can something to cook and new knowledge.
There’s nothing better than a basket for mushrooms!
