Every month, museum visitors choose the exhibit they liked the most. What they singled out for October was the Amanita Caesarea mushroom. 

The Caesar’s mushroom (Amanita Caesarea) was named after Roman Emperors, as it was their  favorite delicacy. It is considered a mushroom of exceptional flavor, with an aroma and taste reminiscent of hazelnut. It fruits from May to November and is usually found in groups, mainly in broadleaf forests, clearings, and forest edges. It has a distinctive orange-red cap measuring 7–15 cm in diameter and white to yellowish gills and stipe, reaching up to 15 cm in height. It is rich in vitamins B1, B2, and C, and also contains essential trace elements such as Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), and Magnesium (Mg).
