Puerto de la Mora is a mycological reserve near Granada, whose aim is the conservation and development of wild species, with educational, cultural, scientific and recreational use and character. By means of described walks along a pleasant route among different types of vegetation, such as black pine forests, cedar plantations and a mixture of different conifers such as sequoias's and cypresses, this route aims to show part of the mycological richness of the area, complementing public use with knowledge of the natural heritage and great biodiversity of this protected area.
Some of the species of mushrooms that can be observed during the tour, weather permitting, include: Ceps (Leccinum lepidum), the large parasol mushroom (Macrolepiota procera), purple shamrock (Lepista nuda), the common oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) and the chanterelle (Lactarius deliciosus). Being within a mycological reserve here, collecting mushrooms for consumption is not allowed. However, they are sought for study or photography on location, but they should be left untouched in the same place they are, so that they can be observed by other visitors.
