Description
It is said that the Paris mushroom was discovered on a pile of manure in the stables of Louis XIV in Versailles, and that its cultivation developed in the catacombs of the capital under Napoleon 1st. But today, there are only five underground mushroom farms left in the Ile-de-France region and, for lack of buyers, the survival of this tradition is feared. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
