Description

Örsbäck Nature Reserve is located a few km north of the village of Örsbäck. It is a small nature reserve consisting of old pine forest on sandy heath. Örsbäck is well worth a visit for mushroom pickers.

The area has high natural values linked to old pines, rich soil fungal flora and tree continuity. There are several rare and red-listed soil fungi in the area that are dependent on the old sand pine forest. Examples include the goliath mushroom, the pine weevil and the licorice mushroom. It is easy to get to the nature reserve thanks to its proximity to a road. The area is also very easy to walk and the forest is sparse and open.
