Mail order mushrooms

If you don’t happen to live near any of our stockists and are wondering how you can get your hands on our delicious wild mushrooms from Sweden then wonder no more – you can buy them direct from our London stockist Scandinavian Kitchen. They have a fantastic online shop packed with lots of other Scandinavian goodies to try as well, and ship all over the UK mainland. The link above will take you directly to their website.

In stock at the moment are Winter Chanterelle, Porcini and Forest Mix. Many thanks to Tim Hensel Photography for our swish new product photos.

We’ll shortly be travelling ‘home’ to lovely West Sweden for holiday/mushroom picking – can’t wait to see what this year’s season will be like. Here’s a photo from last year, when there were so many top quality porcini and ceps we were tripping over them!

Autumn funghi forays

Hayfield ForayOur popular funghi forays in Derbyshire’s Peak District are slowly but surely getting booked up. Sunday 13 September is full, but there are a couple of spaces left for Sunday 18 October and around 8 each for Saturday 19 Sepember and Saturday 24 October.

Each foray lasts around 4 hours, 2-3 hours of which is walking and talking about the mushrooms we find, and the rest preparing them for cooking, then sharing lunch al fresco together. As well as the pan fried mushrooms we serve a good local sausage & sour dough bread, home made cake and drinks. Foray lunch al fresco

If you happen to be holidaying in West Sweden then do join us on one of our forays on the beautiful island of Orust.

Book using the contact form on the website or give us a ring!

Coming up….

DSCF1171Nice to be announcing that our next wild mushroom tasting is going to be back on home ground in New Mills. We’ll be serving Winter Chanterelle toasties for you to nibble as you mooch in Doc Greens, the lovely, well stocked veg shop/deli on Union Rd, this Saturday 11 July 10 – 1pm.

In common with lots of other small towns, high street shopping here has taken a bashing over the last few years but we’re lucky to have a core of great shops (including the fantastic High Street Books & Records, and The Gallery) that make it a pleasure to spend your money locally, and if you haven’t visited New Mills before our other big attraction is the spectacular Torrs Riverside Park, the deep gorge cutting under and through the town, with the famous Millenium Bridge linking the two ends. The park is also home to the first community owned Archimedes Screw in the country. The Torrs Hydro hydro electric scheme generates clean, green electricity and operates for the benefit of the community.

In other words you’d be bonkers not to make the effort to come and see what the town has to offer, as well as do your weekend shopping, and taste our delicious wild mushrooms at the same time. See you then!
