Mushroom hunting in Alicante

From the Mariola range to the Carrascal: Aleppo pine and holm oak woods in the Alicante mountains. In Alicante we watch 243 zones one by one, with the forest, the rain and the soil of each. Today the forest in Alicante has not woken up yet. When it does, the king oyster mushrooms, the charbonniers and the saffron milk caps will lead the way.

Here the land runs from sea level up to 1,350 m, and half of it lies below 364 m. What covers most ground: grassland (34%), scrub (17%) and Aleppo pine (13%). And not all at the same height: the king oyster mushrooms (428–728 m), the charbonniers (331–1,053 m), the saffron milk caps (331–1,040 m) and the yellowfoot (842–1,092 m).
