Mushroom Museum, Mushroom museum in Montsoreau, France.
Located within limestone caves, Le Saut aux Loups museum exhibits various mushroom species cultivated in temperature-controlled underground galleries of the Loire Valley.
The subterranean galleries of Montsoreau have functioned as cultivation spaces since the 19th century, producing three-quarters of France's Paris mushrooms.
The museum demonstrates traditional French mushroom farming techniques through guided tours, showing the connection between local agriculture and regional gastronomy.
Visitors can explore the underground mushroom cultivation galleries from 10:00 to 18:00, with guided tours available throughout the operating hours.
The museum's cave system maintains specific temperature and humidity levels, creating natural conditions for year-round mushroom production without artificial climate control.
