Further information
Embark on a unique mushroom foraging adventure in the wild with Dr. Fungi, a passionate expert in the "fantastic fungi" kingdom. During the mushroom-picking season, from March to November, Slovenia’s magical forests are perfect for discovering wild mushrooms and medicinal herbs. This educational experience offers a deep dive into the world of mushrooms, where you'll learn about the different species, their medicinal uses, and their ecological importance. Not all mushrooms are edible – but with Dr. Fungi’s expert guidance, you will safely forage for the best wild mushrooms while also learning how to identify toxic species. Our journey into the Slovenian forests is not only about mushrooms; it’s about reconnecting with nature, healing, and self-discovery. You’ll experience forest immersion (Shinrin-Yoku), a holistic method that stimulates your senses and promotes emotional and physical well-being. Spending time in nature has been shown to lower stress, boost immune function, and increase overall health. As part of this extraordinary experience, we will enjoy a traditional local wild food lunch that includes mushrooms handpicked during our adventure. It’s the perfect way to taste the natural flavours of Slovenia and enjoy a truly authentic culinary experience. This tour has been recognized and awarded by the Slovenian Tourist Board as the unique, authentic, and sustainable experience in Slovenia. It is a sustainable journey where we take great care to protect Slovenia’s forests by cleaning up any litter left behind by others. Join us in spreading the spores of the mushrooms and preserving these beautiful ecosystems for future generations. This is an experience like no other – perfect for families, friends, or anyone seeking a deeper connection with nature. Come and experience the magic of Slovenia’s forests with Dr. Fungi. Mushrooms are calling, and we must go!
