Mushrooms are a growing success

Yunnan province serves up a treat with edible delights that can be cooked in a variety of ways

As summer arrives with abundant rainfall in Southwest China's Yunnan province, a panorama of wild mushrooms sprouts across the area. In the mountains and fields, villagers flock to harvest these mushrooms, while markets bustle with a diverse array of fungi.

When it comes to preparing wild mushrooms, local residents exhibit their culinary prowess — frying, deep-frying, stir-frying, stewing, consuming them raw, or making soup.

Each type of mushroom is treated differently to fully showcase its distinct and delicious flavor.
