Hunt for truffles begins in Greek iconic destination of Meteora

The truffle hunting season in Meteora will start in the first half of March and will run until the end of October, ANA reports.

A truffle dog will search for the rare underground mushrooms, and the organisers, the Museum of Natural History of Meteora and the Mushroom Museum will hand them over to chefs for a truffle pasta, to be savored by all participants in a forest picnic.

Afterwards the visitors will be given a Museum tour, which has a collection of 350 different species of animals and 250 different mushrooms, and will take part in a mushroom tasting, following which they can buy any of 60 different kinds of mushroom products created by the Mushroom Museum.
