Cultural Note
About one-third of Italy is covered in forests, from alpine pine forests in the north to Mediterranean scrubland in the south. Mushroom foraging ('andare a funghi') in the autumn woods is a beloved national pastime, though it requires a permit. The famous porcini mushrooms grow wild in Italian chestnut and oak forests.
