Daniel grew up in Munich, Bavaria, and started hunting mushrooms as soon as he was able to keep up with his family in the forests. He studied geography, botany and ecology in order to work on environmental issues in the Himalayas and Tibet, where he has been researching and consulting for twenty years. As part of his research Daniel has been focusing on medicinal and edible mushrooms in Tibet for many years. Years ago Daniel moved to Seattle and joined the Puget Sound Mycological Society, which enticed him to take his love for mushrooms to a whole new level. Being an expert on wild edible mushrooms on three continents and an organizer of mushroom tours [www.MushRoaming.com], Daniel keeps venturing out into new and old habitats and cultures to feed his curiosity and his family, along the way capturing images and gathering stories to share.
