Mycological Days

Workshops to discover the diversity of mushrooms in Galatzó led by an expert mycologist. Guided mycological activity by a professional mycologist through the Galatzó estate to learn about the different species of mushrooms, their nature, edibility, toxicity, etc. The activity includes a brief theoretical introduction followed by a field excursion, with explanations and interaction with participants, concluding with a review of the mushrooms collected by the mycologist. The goal is not to search for edible mushrooms but to learn about their diversity and biology. The activity is free, but prior registration is essential for organizational reasons. To register, please fill out the following form on the Town Hall website: Registration form. Event details: Start time: 10:30 a.m. Dates and meeting points: November 14: Parking lot of the Galatzó Public Estate. November 21 and December 5: Galatzó Houses / Refuge.
