THE FUNGUS GALLERY
The Mushroom Gallery reveals the treasures to be found in Loches.
Philippe Gillard, the last descendant of the oldest family of mushroom growers, will take you through the history of the Lochois mushroom farms with passion through the different methods of cultivation of the button mushroom.
The mushroom gallery is a unique place. With your family, you will discover that the town of Loches contains many treasures... For more than a century, the city was very famous for its quarries which were used as mushroom beds. Today, the museum dedicated to this little-known plant brings back to life the history of the town and you will be able to observe, throughout an animated and illuminated tour, the job of the mushroom grower, his incredible machines and the organic mushroom and shiitake growing room, still in operation. An unusual, fun place for the whole family!
You can buy mushrooms on the spot!
