Mycology

The Serranía de Cuenca is an excellent destination for mycology lovers, especially during the mushroom season in autumn and spring. With more than 1,000 species of fungi and mushrooms, this region becomes a paradise for the collection, with specimens of high gastronomic and cultural value.

You can always hire expert companies that offer immersive experiences to discover mycological diversity, allowing a perfect combination of learning and nature. If you do the mycological activity on your own, it is important to follow certain recommendations to ensure a respectful and safe experience:

  • Respect private property, make sure you have the proper permits to access the collection.
  • Do not overexploit natural resources, collect only what is necessary, avoiding damaging inedible species or those that are not abundant. In this way, you help to conserve local biodiversity.
  • Proper identification, if you are not completely sure of a species, do not pick it. Some mushrooms can be poisonous and it is essential to have the proper knowledge to identify them correctly.

These precautions will ensure a safer and more respectful experience with the natural environment.
