Overview

Mushroom hunting excursions are available from September 15 until November 15 (weather permitting). We will use knives and sneakers (provided). During your time in Provence you will learn how to distinguish between edible and poisonous mushrooms.

We will hunt for about 10 different varieties, including: ceps, chanterelle, golden chanterelle, mushroom hedgehog, blue stalk mushroom, Tricholoma myomyces, Saffron milk cap, white saddle, elfin saddle, and black trumpet. You'll discover the quiet, unspoiled forests of the area and enjoy the bucolic and relaxed atmosphere of Provence. You will need to be comfortable with that, you do not mind getting muddy.

What's Included

  • Snacks an outdoorsman's breakfast, including bread, sausage, paté, tapenade, mushrooms and red wine (juice for the kids), will be served.
  • Alcoholic beverages an outdoorsman's breakfast, including bread, sausage, paté, tapenade, mushrooms and red wine (juice for the kids), will be served.
  • Basketball and knives for mushroom hunting

    What To Expect

    Our mushroom hunting tours are available on weekends except for French public holidays, from mid-September until mid-November (weather & mushroom depending). The tour lasts at least 3 hours. First we'll give you, in English, a description of the mushroom we will be looking for (with also pictures). Then we will hike the hills of the Luberon in search of fungus and other wild plants. After the hike, a table will be waiting for you with a traditional aperitif (homemade wine, homemade Pastis, homemade Provencal pâté, tapenade, pickled wild mushrooms) and great stories.
