Experience — San Miguel de Allende
Simbiosis | Mushroom Foraging Tours
Simbiosis invites guests beyond San Miguel and into the forests of central Mexico through immersive mushroom foraging experiences that combine ecology, gastronomy, and local tradition. Led by mycologist Arif Towns Alonso alongside experienced nanacateras, these seasonal excursions introduce participants to the fascinating world of wild fungi while exploring the forests where they naturally thrive. Depending on the season, guests learn to identify edible species, understand the role mushrooms play within the ecosystem, and discover the cultural traditions that have connected local communities to the forest for generations. The experience concludes with a communal meal where the day's discoveries are transformed into dishes that celebrate the extraordinary diversity of Mexico's native mushrooms. Beyond the forest, Simbiosis continues its mission from its boutique inside Mercado Sano, where visitors can explore gourmet mushroom products, medicinal tinctures, fermented foods, educational workshops, and carefully curated fungi-inspired goods. Whether joining a seasonal foraging expedition or discovering the world of mushrooms from the shop, Simbiosis offers one of San Miguel's most distinctive experiences, revealing a side of nature, science, and Mexican culinary culture that few travelers ever encounter.
