Let's start one hour earlier, 9.00. !!!!!
This is so that those hard-working Histonis who go to make an inventory at 13.00 have also a reasonable time to pick mushrooms. The rest of us can continue for a longer time in the forest.

Let's go pick mushrooms in the forests near Linnanmaa next Saturday (30.8.). We start at 10.00 in the morning at the stone ball statue in front of the University main library. Afterwards, if we find something, we can cook together.
You do not need to know mushrooms beforehand as we have experienced people to guide you and to keep it safe. Everyone is wholeheartedly welcome, including especially our foreign students. Don't loose your chance as mushrooms grow only this time of the year! We may also find berries.
Take with you:
- a bicycle - borrow one if you don't have one
- rubber boots or other not-too-delicate shoes
- clothes that cover your whole body, to protect from mosquitos
- a small knife for cutting mushrooms (a vegetable knife)
- a basket, bucket or plastic bags (good to have some extra plastic bags
for berries and for any somewhat suspicious mushrooms)
- a book of mushrooms, if you have one
- something to eat and drink (tea/coffee and sandwiches/cookies are great!)
