| Chanterelle mushrooms picked in the forest near Landsjö. |
In Sweden, one has the right to roam on private lands without permission. Called the Right of Public Access (Allrmansrätten), it includes the ability to forage on private lands, except for the private area immediately surrounding a dwelling. That means mushrooms! This weekend, we went into the forest nearby and gathered wild chanterelles. They grow abundantly in the summer and autumn in Sweden, particularly after bouts of rain like we've just had. There are no similar looking species of mushrooms, except for another, less tasty type of chanterelle, and it's perfectly safe to gather the bright, yellow mushrooms. You can never have too many chanterelles.
