Biellese Mycological Group Mushroom Festival

An evening dedicated to Biellese mushrooms

The Biellese Mycological Group Mushroom Festival is the traditional convivial gathering that brings together members, families, and friends every September around a table entirely dedicated to the undisputed star of autumn: the mushroom. It takes place in Sagliano Micca, a small town in the Province of Biella, Piedmont, at the Ristorante Biancaneve, and stands as one of the most cherished moments of the mycological season.

Who organizes it

The festival is promoted by the Biellese Mycological Group (GMB), an association based in Sagliano Micca that has dedicated years to the study, dissemination, and protection of the local fungal heritage. The group does more than just host the dinner: throughout the year, it organizes basic mycology courses, themed conferences held by members of the Scientific Committee, mycological exhibitions, and forest outings to learn how to identify species. The Mushroom Festival is the convivial culmination of these activities, an occasion where knowledge gathered along the trails is transformed into dishes to be shared.

Authentic autumn flavors

The evening celebrates the genuine flavors of the Biellese woods: a menu built around mushrooms, the fruit of local gastronomic culture and the expertise of the members. It is a festival that speaks of the territory, tradition, and the deep bond between mountain communities and their forests. For those who love nature and good food, it is also a way to discover the fascinating world of mycology in an informal and welcoming atmosphere.

An event for members and friends

The Mushroom Festival is reserved for members of the Biellese Mycological Group, their families, and accompanying friends, and reservations are required. Those wishing to participate can join the group and take part in the numerous activities that the GMB offers throughout the year: an excellent gateway to developing a passion for mushrooms and the social life of the Biella territory.
