About Johanna - the Doer

Ever since I was a little girl I enjoyed going mushroom hunting with my grandma. I always look forward to mushroom season to start. I love all different mushroom dishes especially when ingredients are self foraged. Beautiful chanterelles, porcinis, black trumpets and everything else. Having a little trouble breathing in the city - nature walks give my body and mind a refreshing break from mundane.

Requirements

Outdoor (forest) clothing and shoes. Be able to walk in forest for 1,5 hours.

My friends and I had an amazing morning in the wilderness with Johanna and Riku! Although the season was ending and we did not get to pick many, Johanna and Riku were still able to find a large variety of mushrooms. They were very knowledgeable about mushrooms. Highly recommended and thank you!

We started out in the middle of a downpour but had the most amazing afternoon searching for mushrooms with Johanna and Riku and ended the walk with some wonderful sunshine filtering through the trees.
Johanna and Riki’s passion for mushrooms is apparent and we spent an informative afternoon learning about the different types of mushrooms that we found along the way.
Thank you both for a most enjoyable afternoon

Thank you Johanna and Riku for a wonderful experience. i appreciate your flexibility, punctuality and your expertise. You mentioned that we may not be able to find many mushrooms because of the season, so it was a great surprise that we found more than 2 lbs. of mushrooms! It was very enjoyable to walk in the forest as you explained so much about mushrooms and then to find them was quite exciting. i hope i can return to Turku during mushroom season to go hunting for mushrooms with you again. Thank you very much!

It was an experience I could not do in my country and I really enjoyed picking mushrooms. Johanna and her husband are amazing ;) They have plenty of knowledge about mushrooms and I learned a lot from them. I would highly recommend to everyone! Kiitos :)

We had a fantastic afternoon with Johanna and her husband. They drove us out to some beautiful woods to go mushroom picking. It was clear that they were both very passionate and knowledgeable about the subject, and we could not recommend this experience more!!

Sebastian

Couldn't make it personally, but Johanna was highly agreeable and understanding of my predicament. Mushroom picking is great though, and I'd highly recommend any and all people to acquaint themselves with the sport. That said, this would be an opportune avenue for doing just that. :)

Julia

Johanna, I really enjoyed my experience with you and hunting for mushrooms. As a person with pretty limited knowledge of mushrooms a laminated card (that is used during the experience) with the common mushrooms would be super helpful in identifying them and giving participants confidence in what to look for.

What a beautiful afternoon to spend in the forest! Fresh air and good company, really nice event even though my basket was still empty when returning to car.
