CONNECTING THROUGH MUSHROOMS

Want to come with me to explore the forest? Any time of year, there’s always something to find. I’ll be your guide and share my knowledge and curiosity with you and your friends.

BOOK A TOUR with SHARLENE

Join me on a forest walk through one of my favorite forests. We’ll explore together as I share intriguing, informative spores of knowledge about the fungi kingdom. Whether or not we find edibles. I’ve learned a lot over the past six years (not an expert, just enthusiastic), and I love meeting new people and being in nature. Autumn is the best season but most people don’t realize that every season holds discoveries to be made.

What to expect:

  • Depending on our mode of transportation, we choose a forest.
    I usually keep my favorite forests a secret, but I’m willing to share a few for the sake of creating a magical adventure. (if you have a car and can drive, the options exponential)

  • Not including transportation (which would be approx. 1 hour to our destination, or more), we will spend 3-4 hours in the forest.

  • Walking in nature is a healing experience. It’s been scientifically proven to reduce stress and regulate your nervous system.

    I love sharing my knowledge about mushrooms with you. Expect fun facts and stories.

    *I am not a certified mycological expert, but 6 years in the field has taught me a lot (along with books and apps)

    I am happy to create an experience just for you. I love connection, play, taking photos and finding new things in the forest to explore.

  • For groups of friends and even individuals, I am happy to take some fun photos so you will never forget your adventure.

    For years I was a portrait and fashion photographer.. so you’re in good hands. Perhaps I even bring one of my masks!

    Additional cost is negotiable.

  • If you choose, on a day we find a LOT of edible mushrooms, we can discuss cooking and eating together. Nothing is better than sharing after a good foraging trip.

  • My minimum day rate is 250€.

    For groups (max 10), I ask 50€/person

    Price is negotiable depending on circumstances. Write me directly to explore options.

Let's Go to the Forest!

  • "Walking through the Forest with Sharlene was both magical and deeply informative."

    …Her extensive knowledge of edible, poisonous, and medicinal mushrooms, combined with her ability to explain where and how to find them, made for a fascinating experience that I wholeheartedly recommend and can’t wait to repeat.”
