Wild mushrooms create a €12 million business for Andalucía

ANDALUCÍA (Agencies) At the 4th Feria Gastronómica at El Andévalo in Huelva (Food Fair, basically) the provincial Environment delegate for that province, Juan Manuel López, announced that this was the latest figure that emerges from the balance made at the end of the last wild mushroom season. He added that a significant part of it came from Spain's only mushroom market, in Jimena. He also said that Andalucía is the autonomous region that offers the largest variety of mushrooms and truffles in the country. The fair at which he made the announcement specialises in white truffles, a species that is much appreciated and which fetches excellent prices.
