Refreshing Taste of Mushrooms with Red Cap and White Stem

A primary forest in Lincang, Yunnan is home to a kind of wild fungus which is extremely red. Every year between June and July, the villagers would basically stay in the mountain looking for such kind of mushroom with a red cap and a white stem. Once fully dried, it can be sold for up to nearly 1,000 yuan per kilogram. It’s a precious wild delicacy in season and also a wonderfully nourishing recipe in winter for people in other areas. In Yunnan, where people live on what they can take from mountains, the happiness from picking and eating mushrooms is always irreplaceable.
