Musée du Champignon, Underground mushroom museum in Saint-Hilaire-Saint-Florent, France.
The Mushroom Museum displays 250 species of fungi in underground limestone galleries, combining an active cultivation facility with educational exhibitions about mushroom varieties.
The museum's cave system reflects the historical limestone quarrying activities that shaped the Loire Valley's architectural development through centuries.
The exhibitions demonstrate French agricultural expertise through detailed presentations of cultivation methods for Paris mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and shiitake.
The museum operates daily from 10 AM to 7 PM during peak season, with admission fees of 9 euros for adults and 7 euros for children.
The facility maintains an annual production of 10 tons of mushrooms while allowing visitors to observe cultivation techniques in real-time conditions.
