The initiative, which has established itself as a regional benchmark, exceeded expectations by bringing together a significant number of participants for a day dedicated to knowledge, nature, and the preservation of endogenous resources. The activity began with a field trip in the vicinity of the village of Paradela, where participants explored the natural landscapes and collected specimens, following good sustainability practices.
Following the field trip, a convivial lunch was held with mushrooms taking center stage. The afternoon was marked by practical and educational demonstrations, including a demonstration of mushroom production on logs, a sustainable technique that generated particular interest. The event concluded with a species identification workshop.
The organization considered the eleventh edition a success, highlighting the strong public turnout and the event's contribution to enhancing the natural and tourist heritage of Miranda do Douro, despite climatic conditions not being favorable for macrofungi reproduction.
