Castilla y León has a varied countryside that forms part of its rich cultural heritage.
The area between the high mountain ranges and the river plains is home to a variety of individual ecosystems, landscapes and important forestry resources capable of defining, as is the case with mushrooms, signs of identity.
The abundance of edible mushrooms in combination with innovative initiatives, such as the GASTROMYAS programme, has enabled the development of options for mushroom tourism that are unique in Spain.
Specialised centres, mushroom-picking routes, guides, as well as a large network of restaurants, bars and accommodation for mushroom enthusiasts help visitors discover and enjoy the Fungi Kingdom.
More than 1500 species of mushroom, many edible, grow each year in the mountains and forests of Castilla y León. A unique attraction that comes from picking mushrooms, enjoying the countryside and tasting products of excellent quality.
