New business, new festivals. Mushrooms, once a free addition to the local diet, are now big business in Yunnan. In the mountains north of Shiping the mushroom season now has its own festival, mixing Yi and Han influences.
This set of pictures was taken near Longpeng, Shiping County 石屏县龙朋镇. The next Wild Mushroom Festival 菌文化节 is on Sat, 16. August 2025.
