A Mushroom Adventure in Kalavrita on September 22, 2024

Nektarios Filippopoulos, a specialist in wild mushrooms and truffles in Greece, founded his company to be able to collect everything the earth gives us in abundance, mushrooms, greens, herbs, truffles, wild fruits and much more and supply the best restaurants in Greece and abroad, quickly and safely, leaving zero footprints on nature. It allowed hundreds of people to demystify wild mushrooms, and get to know them without fearing them, they saw up close how they are harvested and understood that they can consume them without fear.

Together with his partners, experienced and trained mushroom pickers, they carry out dozens of seminars, excursions and collections of mushrooms that end up in the frying pan or the pot of qualified chefs.
