Territorial cooperation and knowledge exchange
What is Mycoforum?
Mycoforum® is an international event created by the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation “European Mycological Institute” (EGTC-EMI) in order to facilitate the exchange of scientific and technical knowledge between Mycological Parks and promote the responsible use of forest mycological resources as a driver of rural development.
It aims to facilitate innovative cooperation between the public-private agents involved based on quality mycological products and services capable of generating territorial attractiveness of the cities to the rural environment.
In addition, Mycoforum will raise awareness about:
The ecological importance of fungi in forests.
The importance of considering fungi in forest management (mycoselviculture).
The different local species that can be harvested, where and how to collect them responsibly.
The importance of quality control to ensure food safety and prevent fraud.
The most appropriate ways to use mushrooms in the kitchen to enjoy all their qualities.
Mycotourism: mycological parks, local agro-food products, fairs, conferences, specialized restaurants, etc.
Mycoforum®is an annual itinerant event that has been designed to be organized in municipalities in the surroundings of a Mycological Park with attractive exhibition spaces that guarantee the influx of public from the cities to the rural environment and the maximum diffusion.
