Welcome to Neuchatel, Switzerland. This picturesque town is not only known for its stunning landscapes and historic Castle of Cressier but also for its diverse mushroom species. One of the unique mushrooms found here is the Snow morel, scientifically known as Gyromitra gigas. Its distinctive shape and color make it a sought-after delicacy among mushroom enthusiasts. Another fascinating find in Neuchatel's forests is the Cauliflower coral mushroom, or Ramaria botrytis. With its intricate branching structure resembling cauliflower florets, this edible fungus adds a touch of whimsy to any dish. Nature lovers will be delighted to stumble upon the Half-free morel, Morchella semi-libera. These elusive mushrooms are prized for their rich flavor and can be spotted amidst fallen leaves or near decaying wood. For history buffs, an antique map of Switzerland serves as a reminder of Neuchatel's heritage and significance within the country. While exploring these woods, keep an eye out for the False chanterelle (Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca). Although its edibility remains dubious, its vibrant orange hue adds a pop of color to nature's palette. If you're in search of culinary delights, look no further than the Honey mushroom (Armillaria mellea). Known as Agaricus melleus in scientific terms, this edible fungus offers a delightful nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with various dishes. However, exercise caution when encountering the False death cap (Amanita citrina), also referred to as Agaricus mappa. Despite its innocent appearance resembling other edible mushrooms like Morels: Morchella lutescens and Morchella conica - it is poisonous. As you explore Neuchatel's enchanting surroundings filled with natural wonders like Hygroscopic earthstar (Geastrum hygrometricum), take time to appreciate Mother Nature's artistry at every turn.
