APK goes mushroom picking

Join APK on a mushroom picking trip to Maaria in Turku on Thursday, September 18! On the trip, we will try to find the most common edible mushrooms in the forest and learn how to identify them. The trip will begin with a meeting at the parking lot next to Myllyojansilta at 6 p.m. at Paimalantie 369, Turku. You can reach the starting point, for example by taking Föli bus 28, which departs from Kauppatori at 5:35 p.m. Please note that the buses run only once an hour.

The mushroom trip is free of charge, but you must be a member of APK to participate (instructions for joining: https://www.partiokilta.fi/en/join-us/ ). No registration is required for the excursion. For the trip, you will need a mushroom basket or bag, a small knife (preferably a mushroom knife), and water and snacks as needed. It is also a good idea to get a mushroom guide or app to help you to identify mushrooms. Waterproof shoes are recommended for the trip. 

Please note that the trip is not a mushroom training course and everyone is responsible for the mushrooms they collect. However, the trip guides can assist you in identifying mushrooms. The guide's dog will also be participating in the trip. If you have any questions about the mushroom trip, please contact hallitus@partiokilta.fi. See you on the trip!
