Autumn in Pla de l’Estany is a special time to enjoy nature and discover the mushrooms that grow in the area. Around Camping Esponellà, the forests are dressed in warm colours, the paths are perfect for family walks, and mushrooms begin to appear. It’s a unique experience for both adults and children who want to explore nature and enjoy family activities!
We are the perfect starting point for mushroom hunting in the Pla de l’Estany, near Esponellà. In our natural surroundings, there are several forests where you can find mushrooms during the season. In general, mushrooms like damp soil and shady areas under trees, but some can also be found among bushes or near paths. Walking with children along these routes is a wonderful way to enjoy the scenery, learn about nature, and discover the mushrooms of the Pla de l’Estany without much effort.
Here’s a list of important tips:
- Don’t pick mushrooms you don’t recognise: for your safety, it’s best not to eat unknown mushrooms, as they can be toxic. Be very careful with this!
- Be well equipped: bring a knife for picking mushrooms, a basket, suitable clothing and footwear for walking in the forest, and something warm just in case...
- Don’t get lost! Go to places you know or where you can easily find your way around.
- Respect nature: there’s no need to break branches, plants or mushrooms — everything has its natural role in the forest. Shouting or making loud noises doesn’t help maintain a peaceful natural environment either.
- Take the opportunity to enjoy a bit of adventure with the kids. Whether you’re heading into the forest (you can collect branches, twigs, leaves, or small stones of different shapes and colours...) or searching for mushrooms, picking them, and bringing them back to your bungalow. You can play games identifying little animals, trees or plants... Later, you can prepare a meal with seasonal products and teach the children about autumn foods — what they’re like and how they taste.
Enjoying mushrooms in autumn in Pla de l’Estany is an experience that combines nature, gastronomy and family moments. Book your stay at Camping Esponellà this autumn and experience the magic of the forests, the autumn colours and textures, and all the family activities around you!
