Parco Nazionale Appennino Tosco-Emiliano

Among the mushrooms growing in the National Park, the most famous one is the King Bolete (Boletus edulis) growing in the coppice forests at the end of the summer and in autumn. Dried or fresh, it is an essential ingredient of all the traditional mountain menus: in oil, in the frying-pan, grilled, fresh and cut in very thin pieces, with Parmigiano Reggiano flakes, in the tagliatelle sauce, or with tortelli and potato gnocchi.
