Shitake, mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, wild mushrooms, mushroom picking and tasting, purchase of mushrooms, and provision of recipes for mushroom dishes.

  • Visitors can purchase various mushroom products such as dried mushrooms.
  • Some farms offer not just tastings, but also whole meals of locally grown mushrooms. If the farms do not offer meals, there can be a partnership with nearby dining facilities, where visitors can taste mushroom cakes, sauces and other interesting mushroom dishes.
  • Some farms offer a chance to pick mushrooms in special locations. Visitors join the owners, who are familiar with mushroom species, thus identifying those who are of low quality or poisonous.
