Bogesund with mushroom foraging, dinner, etc. with optional camping

Details

Let's use the remaining summer warmth and go to a nice place, but still within reasonable distance from Sthlm, where we can pick mushrooms, blueberries or doing whatever we like, and then have a nice dinner by a fire at a shelter!
It's also a nice & easy place to camp, plenty of room and less than 1 km from a bus stop. See pics from last year: Smugmug pictures

Getting there, and meeting up, preliminary plan, please check back on Friday:
The shelter with fire place is located on north side of Bogesundslandet, see the picture with the map and other info here: Info-link-Karlslund
Bus stop: Ladvik or Nibble (Vaxholm), SL link: T-centralen to Nibble
Meeting up: You can find fellow hikers by 10:30 at Danderyds sjukhus bus stop F, take blue bus 670 towards Vaxholm, or meet by Nibble bus stop 10:56 where the organizer can meet up. Or find us by the shelter before 12:00.

Plan:
After a short hike to the shelter, people can settle in before having lunch at the fire place & shelter. After lunch, there are trails & areas in both westerly and easterly directions that can be explored for mushrooms, blueberries, etc. (or even going south for the longer Dammtorpsrundan hike, perhaps 13km). Or just relax go for a swim or whatever. We can help each other with checking the mushrooms, after returning to the shelter.
Since this is outside the nature reserve, it's also allowed to collect dead wood for firewood and bushcrafting (the organizer will bring some tools for wood working).

Dinner:
We will regroup at the shelter & fire place, perhaps around 17:00, where the fresh mushrooms can be checked and also be used to improve our dinners. There will be a fire, a big kind of BBQ grid and frying pans there.

Camping:
Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy a stress free evening around a cosy fire, and spend the night in the camping friendly area, without having to go back to Stockholm on Saturday night? But sure, it's also possible to take a Saturday bus back (passes by Nibble every 20 mins).

Bring:
Clothes for the weather, water, something to eat & drink for lunch & dinner with plate, mug & utensils, and some warmer clothes for sitting down. Things like paper bag or mushroom basket, knife and something to sit on, small blueberry bucket may come in handy.
Overnighters will need overnight equipment of course, and more food & drink for breakfast at least. Since it's an easy and short trail, we can bring extra comfort or fun items we like to have.
The place may have some traffic noise depending on the wind. Ear plugs can be nice for sensitive sleepers.

Extra contributions?
The organizer will bring tarps with lines (perhaps for wind or rain protection), LED string lights, some starter fire wood, and some wood working tools: saw, small axe, knife, bit and brace drill, etc..
No fee, but perhaps you would like to make some kind of contribution to the event? For instance mushroom expertise, bring good mushroom books, old school coffee pot for use over the fire, some snacks or marshmallows for the group, small appetizer/starter, a mini dessert, dry fire wood, arriving early to help the organizer set up camp, or something else?
