Since prehistoric times-as evidenced by the artifacts preserved at the Archaeological Museum of Parma-mushrooms have entered the diet of the Terramare people.

Mushrooms were known for their organoleptic characteristics as far back as ancient Rome.
The Porcino mushroom from Borgotaro also boasts a glorious reputation in the kitchen, prized by the Farnese dukes - in 1606.
