Mushrooms grow in abundance on the highlands of Halkidiki: Caesar’s mushrooms, kind boletes and wild truffles, among many others, are collected and used in traditional recipes such as mushroom pie with cheese. The area is also a paradise for wild herbs and healing plants: bloodwort, elder, rosemary, eucalyptus, thyme, oregano, thistle, bay, mint, ironwort and lemon balm are just a few of the plants that grow there.
