Castilla y León treasures a great diversity of wild mushrooms, with a catalog of 2,700 species, many of them edible, of which 50 are marketed, together with cultivated ones such as the black truffle, which represents a great wealth for the local economy. The mastery, quality and good work of the cooks of Castilla y León position the mycological gastronomy of our Community among the most recognized nationally and internationally, and the tourism professionals contribute to the fact that Castilla y León has become one of the leading territories in mycotourism

Microtourism makes possible the deseasonalization of the tourist sector, since the collection of mushrooms can be carried out during the four seasons of the year. This makes it possible to design tourist products throughout the year and thus extend the enjoyment of micotourism.
