| | Mushroom Tours in Mexico - Tlaxcala |
 | | The smallest of Mexico's 31 states (map), Tlaxcala (Tluss-KAh-lah) is nestled in high, hilly plains, punctuated by dramatic volcanic peaks, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) due east of Mexico City and 40 kilometers (25 miles) north of the large but charming colonial city of Puebla, which will be our tour gathering point. |
 | | In particular, Tlaxcala's southerly position and high altitude create a unique confluence of tropical and temperate environments, encouraging the growth of a wide range of fungi - more than 600 species identified (among thousands more, yet to be described). |
 | | The Tlaxcala 2005 Mushroom Tour will once again be an all-inclusive, 7-day, 7-night event (starting Sunday, August 28, in the gathering-point city of Puebla) with an intense focus on foraying, fungi identification, informative presentations and culinary enjoyment of the edibles collected. |
