Groep wandelaars in een zonnig bos tijdens een Bosgenoten teamuitje

A team outing your
colleagues will talk
about for months.

Bosgenoten organises team outings in the nature of South Limburg — about mushrooms, fermentation and cooking. Founder Joris discovered how a single walk in the forest can change the way you see things — that sense of wonder is what every team outing is about.

Three team outings

No ordinary team outing.
An experience that inspires
you to spend more time in nature.

Three experiences around mushrooms, fermentation and cooking — each one something your colleagues have never done before. Every outing can be booked separately. We start at 15:00 and end the day together with drinks and dinner. Request a quote, no obligations.

Autumn
Team outing mushroom hunt in the forest

Mushroom Hunt

Nature as your teammate

After an introduction to the world of mushrooms, your team heads into nature. With a field map in hand you search for mushrooms, name what you find and take photos. The group that discovers the most wins — but everyone goes home with something new to tell.

Season September to November
Group size 8 to 20 people
Duration 15:00 – 17:00 (2 hours)
Locations Kasteel Vaeshartelt · Brasserie Steinerbos · Brasserie Bie de groeve
All year round
Team outing making and fermenting kombucha

Kombucha Making

Fermentation, flavours and wonder

You'll learn how kombucha is made: from brewing tea to SCOBY, from first to second fermentation. Then you taste a range of flavour variations together and discuss what you notice. An experience that always surprises — even for those who'd never heard of kombucha.

Season All year round
Group size 8 to 20 people
Duration 15:00 – 17:00 (2 hours)
Locations Kasteel Vaeshartelt · Brasserie Steinerbos · Brasserie Bie de groeve

Team outing cooking with mushrooms

Cooking with Mushrooms

Cook together, eat together

Together you make a seasonal dish with mushrooms from Limburg growers — and along the way you learn how to bring out their best. Then you gather around a shared table and enjoy it together, at ease and with a good glass in hand.

Season All year round
Group size 8 to 20 people
Duration 15:00 – 17:00 (2 hours)
Location Coöperatie Blauwdorp, Maastricht

A day with Bosgenoten

From welcome to wrap-up — we take care of it.

Every outing follows the same rhythm. You choose the outing and the location, we handle the rest.

15:00
Welcome

A welcome drink and a bite at the location.

15:15
Introduction

A short overview of the day and an introduction to the world of mushrooms and fungi. The guides introduce themselves and the groups are formed.

15:30
The activity

The moment you take part in an inspiring activity together with your colleagues — hunt, kombucha or cooking. We guide, you enjoy.

17:00
Drinks and dinner

Within walking distance you wind down with drinks, snacks and, if you like, dinner. You've already been chatting during the activity — now you can catch up at leisure.

Bad weather? For the mushroom hunt we have a bad-weather scenario ready. Kombucha and cooking are indoors anyway. Just let us know with your request if this is a concern.

All locations are carefully chosen: easy to reach, with parking, and a place where you can enjoy good food and drinks afterwards.

Cooking with mushrooms

Why Bosgenoten

A unique team outing
that reaches beyond one day.

We offer teams a special day in nature and make the world of mushrooms, fungi and fermentation accessible — even for those who've never explored it before.

01

A unique outing with connection that lasts

No ordinary outing: you head into nature, or we bring nature indoors for the kombucha or cooking outing. Doing something special together brings a team closer, sometimes with a shared passion that lasts.

02

Inspiration to get out into nature

Our day inspires you to head outdoors more often — and you'll learn beginner-friendly things, like recognising mushrooms, making your own kombucha or cooking with mushrooms. More time in nature has plenty of proven benefits, for body and mind.

03

One point of contact, fully taken care of

From location to snacks, from group planning to a bad-weather scenario: all you have to do is bring your colleagues. One point of contact, one invoice. Request a quote and we'll handle the rest.

The team

A team of nature lovers.

Joris Heine in the forest with a mushroom
Joris Heine
Founder

Joris joined a mushroom walk without expecting much from it. But by slowing down and really looking, a whole world opened up for him. With a background in communications and marketing, he now translates that experience into team outings for others.

For every team outing Joris works together with guides who love to share their knowledge of mushrooms, fermentation and nature — and with the people behind our locations, who provide a warm welcome and a good wrap-up. Together they make every outing a well-cared-for experience.

Chevonne Hagens and Joris Heine are the founders of the 2023 Maashrooms initiative — converted into Stichting Maashrooms in February 2026 — which introduces consumers to the world of mushrooms and fermentation. The foundation's board is made up of Marieke van Megen and Sofianna Bon. With Bosgenoten, Joris brings nature- and human-connecting activities to teams and organisations.
