The Mushroom Museum

Inside Toba de Saumur galleries grow three-quarters of the nation's production of "champignons de Paris". The climatic qualities of these places, where temperature and humidity are constant throughout the year, have made these caves and grottoes the perfect place for mushrooms. I'm not lying when I say that it's impressive to see so many mushrooms. For centuries this traditional way of farming has interested and attracted strangers to view this singular "plot". In many instances, it has also been used for storing wine. These stone galleries have become a mushroom kingdom - a place totally dedicated to cultivation in the dark.
