Starting around October every year families across the Amalfi Coast take to the hills in search of poricini. Usually Saint Francis day on October 4th signifies a welcome change in seasons.

For the keen observer, any hiking trip can subtly reveal a multitude of wild edibles- the king of which is the porcini mushroom.
