Mushroom Hunting In Lapland

mushroom hunting in lapland
1 min

In January of 2018, I spent some time in Lapland on a trip with Origins. Lapland is the northernmost province of Finland, above the arctic circle. It was the dead of winter, and as I spend much of my time in the Sonoran desert of the Southwest, it was a big change. Together with my daughter Diana I did a little snowmobiling, visited the local wildlife (reindeer) and got to hunt for chaga mushrooms (Inonotus obliquus) that grow on birch trees. Chaga is one of the ingredients in my Mega Mushroom line of skin care products that I developed with Origins. Below are a few images from that trip:
