Sociedad Micologica Lazarillo

The Sociedad Micológica Salmantina Lazarillo is a nonprofit association in Salamanca, Spain, bringing together people interested in mushrooms, mycology and nature. Founded in 1988, it promotes knowledge of fungi and encourages people to appreciate and respect the natural environment. Its activities include regular educational meetings, where attendees can learn about different species, and field outings that support learning about mushrooms and their habitats. Experienced mycologists also examine specimens brought in by enthusiasts, identify the species and advise whether they are edible, helping reduce the risk of poisoning.

Lazarillo shares mycological information through a range of resources, including articles, guides, infographics, recipes, presentations, videos and podcasts. Its digital magazine, Setas de Salamanca, publishes work on fungi and related subjects, and offers members and other contributors a platform to share their studies and interests. The association also produces bulletins and organizes mycological events and exhibitions, introducing the diversity of local mushrooms to the public.
