Simbiosis Tours 2026 — Mushrooms & Forest Cooking
Every Sunday in July, the trails of the Sierra de Santa Rosa open for a day where mycology becomes living experience: to walk, to recognize, to illustrate, and to cook the Fungi Kingdom in its own habitat. We are the pioneers of mycotourism in Guanajuato.
Sundays July 5, 12, 19, and 26, 2026.
Rancho Peralillo, Sierra de Santa Rosa, Guanajuato — 30 minutes from the city of Guanajuato.

After the forest
Every outing leaves a mark. Relive the tours and add your own findings in the Bitácora Fungívora, the living record of the Fungívoros de Simbiosis community.
Every mushroom you photograph on the trail can become science: by uploading it to our citizen-science project on iNaturalist, your finding joins CONABIO's national biodiversity registry. To walk with us is also to become a fungivore.
