*Chanterelles grow in the southern part of Sweden. They are hard to
find, but can be located in coniferous forests or a mixed forest. The cap is smooth, delicate, and gold-orange with irregular, uneven edges that are thick, blunt, and taper down. Underneath the cap, the gills have forked ridges with blunt edges and these ridges run down the matching gold-oran- ge, firm, thick, and solid stem.
**Juniper berries grow all over Sweden. They are usually found in areas ex- posed to the sun, for example heaths or pens. They are collected from small juniper trees or juniper bushes. It has needle-like leaves in whorls of three; the leaves are green, with a single white stomatal band on the inner surface. The berries are initially green, ripening in 18 months to purple-black with a blue waxy coating.
