With the autumn rains the precious and abundant Natural spaces of Spain are filled with mushrooms. Since Navalmedio Nature Activities They propose us to participate in several activities, focusing on enjoying, in a respectful way, the mushrooms of the forests. For example, the activity family mycology, is carried out in Cercedilla (Madrid) and proposes a simple and pleasant field trip, adapted to a family audience, in which you can discover the interesting world of mushrooms. It will be held on Friday, October 31 and has a price of 30 euros per family. The tour will last approximately three hours and is not a collection activity.
I recommend taking a look at its complete website and requesting information from family activities although there are many others that can also be enjoyed with the older ones. For example, and with an approximate duration of two hours, it is about accompanying a biologist and making a field trip in the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park to learn to recognize and collect species. This activity can be done on October 12, 19 and 25, 2014 with a price of 25 euros. It also includes a warm broth at the end and a copy of the mushroom guide of the Sierra de Madrid.
And if you still want to specialize more and then practice as a family, there is a day of initiation to mycology in El Espinar (Segovia) that lasts approximately seven hours. This tour includes a training course in the classroom, field trip accompanied to collect chanterelles and bullets, food in a mountain establishment based on seasonal dishes, a copy of the Mushroom guide from the Sierra de Madrid, a copy of Mushroom Recipes and participation in a colloquium on mushrooms at the end of the meal. This activity will take place on Saturday, October 18 and has a price of 40 euros. From the Navalmedio website it is reported that this activity includes a collector's license.
And remember, as Macarena explained to us months ago, the mushrooms, well selected can constitute a good source of vegetable proteins quality. And children like cooked sauteed with ham or served as a garnish next to the potatoes accompanying some animal protein.
