Pajala, SWEDEN

In Sweden, and other parts of 

Scandinavia, mushrooming is a popular 

hobby. Done primarily while on summer 

holiday, the training begins when you 

are a child. I was surprised by the 

number of Swedes who can identify 

mushrooms. Have you ever come across 

a Chanterelle patch? I did once, it 

was hidden under dense scrub, we 

found one mushroom and then more and 

more and by the time we came home our 

basket was filled! We had more than 

we could eat! Mind you, this only 

happened once. The knife comes from 

the far north of Sweden and is 

perfect to carry with you in the 

forest and for cleaning the mushrooms 

at home. Handmade of course. *
