Mycoforum 2024

Orihuela del Tremedal (Teruel)

Regenerative mycotourism offers multiple possibilities both for rural development and for improving the knowledge and conservation of forests and fungi.

During MYCOFORUM 2024 we will show you the latest innovations related to Mycological Parks and the enhancement of their mycological resources. We will enjoy guided excursions to the Mycological Park of the Community of Albarracín, a mycological exhibition with freshly collected mushrooms in the environment, workshops on how to preserve and manipulate mushrooms in the kitchen, round tables, specialized talks and, in addition, we will present for the first time the Brand “Mushrooms of Origin Sierra de Albarracín” together with the Association of Mushroom Pickers of the province of Teruel.

The Mycological Park of the Community of Albarracín offers you a unique regenerative mycotourism experience: Discover and enjoy its mycological treasures in a unique natural environment with the help of “mycotourism guides” trained thanks to the Fungalia project to teach you to know new species of mushrooms, how to avoid confusion, how, where and when to collect them and also how to help their conservation by knowing their ecology and collaborating with citizen science.

We have the support of recognized experts and scientists, as well as the collaboration of the Mycological Association of Teruel and the European Mycological Institute (EMI).

Your participation and opinion is important, we look forward to seeing you at Mycoforum 2024.
