Is It Mushroom Season Yet? – Moss, Chestnuts and Magical Moments in Nature Throughout the Seasons

From true to false morels and the right MOOTD (Mushroom Outfit of the Day)

Peggi Rudischhauser used to work in the event industry. She sprinted from event to event, lived in the big city and was constantly on edge. Then Covid hit. When she was forced to come to a complete standstill, her life changed fundamentally. She moved back to the Ore Mountains, surrounded by nature, where she discovered her love for mushrooms. Equipped with a basket, mushroom knife and phone, which she uses to record her trips on social media, Peggi now roams through the forest, without deadlines or stress and just herself and the incredible diversity of the mushroom world for company. Peggi takes us along on these foraging adventures and explains which mushrooms to find in which month, which equipment is essential and much more.

  • Funny, educational, life-changing
  • With numerous illustrations and photos to immerse yourself in the fungiverse
