It is a great pleasure and a privilege to welcome you to the 9th International Medicinal Mushrooms Conference, which will be held in Palermo, Italy, from 24 - 28 September 2017.

The city is located in the northwest of the island of Sicily and is noted for its history, culture, architecture and gastronomy (in particular street food is also a great way to learn about traditions and culture of Palermo). The city is well connected to international travel hubs and offers a great range of hotel accommodations as well as a stimulating atmosphere.
