Objective:
The main objective is the implementation of a management system for the regulation of the mycological harvesting at a regional level, in order to generate, through the mycological resource, a way of rural and local development, by promoting mycological tourism and to encourage an ordered, sustainable and compatible activity with the rest of the uses and forest harvesting.
This management system is based on the sale of picking permits of different modalities and durations, with prices that vary according to classes of permits, between 3 and 300 Euros. It also adapts to current regulations, reflected in DECREE 31/2017, of October 5, which regulates the wild mycological resource in Castilla y León.
Context:
The wild mushroom collection activity is currently carried out by a large number of collectors (over half a million people in Castile and Leon), with different particular interests, commercial, recreational, educational, scientific ... The compatibility of this activity with the legitimate interests of the owner of the resource (in many cases public entities such as municipalities) justifies an integrated and sustainable management of the activity and that it will bring economic benefits to the owners.
