Moritz Schmid always enjoyed getting lost in the woods, and he found his true calling while exploring the magic of the German forest. Mushrooms became his true passion, and he’s using the power of social media to help other people discover their under-appreciated beauty and step into the woods by his side.
Schmid is a nature lover and fungi expert from Germany, who attracted 50,000 followers to his Instagram page with his expert mushroom knowledge. He fully deserves his claim to fame since he’s also a mushroom coach at the German Society for Mycology and a certified course instructor at the German Academy for Forest Bathing and Health.
Schmid learned everything there is to know about mushrooms while exploring the woods around Berlin, and he came up with a creative way to capture his adventures. He enjoys making artful displays with mushrooms that perfectly demonstrate their incredible diversity, using multiple different species in a single artwork.
In addition to sharing his work with thousands of followers, Schmid is also hosting workshops and retreats for all nature lovers who want to learn more about the fungi world. They’re available through his website Into the Woods, and he promises they’ll teach you to learn the basics, know how to differentiate between different species, and make your own mushroom mandala at the end.
