This August, Funga Hikes invites you to live a unique experience with its mushroom tours: day tours that combine mycological hiking, wild mushroom watching, traditional gastronomy and contact with local communities.
You should know that all tours depart from Mexico City and return the same day, making the plan accessible, immersive and memorable.
Each route is guided by biologists with training in mycology (UNAM) and SECTUR-09 accreditation, who will teach you how to identify different species of edible mushrooms while you travel through forests and mountains.
In addition, each tour includes tastings of dishes prepared by local cooks, highlighting the unique flavors of the fungal season.
Mushroom tour dates and destinations:
- Sunday, August 3 and Sunday, August 24: Hiking and traditional market in El Chico, Hidalgo.
- Saturday, August 16: Pulque and mushroom in Monte Tláloc, with hiking and tasting.
- Sunday, August 17 and Saturday, August 30: Picking and mycogastronomy in Chignahuapan.
- Sunday, August 31: Hiking and local cuisine at Presa Iturbide.
Tours operate from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm and are ideal for those seeking a deeper connection with nature, culture and conscious eating. Spots fill up as the date approaches, so booking in advance is key.
Funga Hikes’ mushroom tours are a perfect introduction to mycotourism from CDMX: a one-day experience that connects science, tradition and flavor.
Whether you’re looking to learn about mushrooms, enjoy the forest or try unique recipes, this is your chance to do it all at the same time.
