Description
Here you will experience a mushroom-rich and patchy limestone coniferous forest, which is a very unusual type of nature. The limestone coniferous forest is dominated by spruce. The calcareous soil provides a fertile and herb-rich vegetation. The area has been grazed by animals for many years. The extensive grazing favors mycorrhizal fungi. These are fungi that work with the roots of plants and trees to gather nutrients. They also depend on the presence of old trees in the forest. In limestone coniferous forests in particular, you can find a number of rare and well-known mushrooms, such as the spicebush or the gooseberry fungus.
