Mushroom picking
Into the forest on a scented treasure hunt
As summer winds down, a very special season begins for gourmets: the mushroom season. Mushroom picking combines the pleasure of hiking with an exciting and tasty treasure hunt. The fragrant reward consists of porcini (Yellow boletus), chanterelles (Cantharellus cibarius) or honey mushrooms (Armillaria).
It goes without saying that the passionate mushroom hunter is also a nature lover and pays close attention to what and how he collects.
Please note: Mushroom picking is regulated in South Tyrol.
