“An unforgettable experience!!! Diana’s extensive knowledge of local flora and fungi was evident from the moment we began our excursion. She shared fascinating insights about various mushroom and plant species, habitats, and the ecological roles they play, which deepened our appreciation for nature. What stood out was Diana’s approach – her passion for foraging, combined with her expert guidance and the freedom to explore, made for an amazing outing. I 100% recommend her excursions to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of mushrooms and plants!” — Pauline
