Operational Group: MicoAragón

Description

The Operational Group has developed a territorial assessment with a study of the productive potential of wild mushrooms of socioeconomic interest.

To this end, various activities have been carried out, including: the characterization of mycological demand in Aragon, the establishment of the Aragon Mycological Roundtable as a consultative body for discussion, diagnosis, and assessment of mycological resources, the definition of a future Network of Mycological Parks in Aragon, and the implementation of initiatives to promote mycological tourism and agri-food.

This Operational Group has laid the foundations for the development of the wild mushroom sector (products and services) in Aragon, providing society with a regional strategy (MICOARAGÓN) and management tools in cooperation with other national supra-regional governments and the European Grouping for Territorial Cooperation, the European Mycological Institute (EMI).
