季节性户外体验活动
云南凭借其优越的气候和地质条件，是地球上野生蘑菇最丰富的地区，采摘季节的持续时间比欧洲更长，从5月一直持续到9月。地球上共有14万多种蘑菇，但到目前为止，只有不到百分之十的蘑菇被命名。三千种被认为是可食用的，其中有850种在云南被发现。
如果您决定在沙溪周边采摘蘑菇，请尝试用小刀在地面上切蘑菇，这样可以留下他们的菌种。最好只采摘成熟的蘑菇，这样它们在收获之前就有机会繁殖孢子。
为了能让您有获得一个完美的采蘑菇体验，我们强烈建议您请一个有经验的当地向导，这样您就可以收获丰厚的蘑菇，享用独特的晚餐。
向导费用：280元。更多信息，请在前台咨询。

All about Shaxi mushrooms
Pine Mushroom (song rong) Matsutake Tricholoma
After pests destroyed the Japanese matsutake industry more then ten years ago, Yunnan quickly stepped in, and now supplies Japan with more than half of its yearly demand. Previously they would fetch just 35 yuan per kilo at best, but now they command up to 500 USD per kilo towards the the end of season period. It is said that the matsutake were the only "plants" that survived the atomic bombing on Hiroshima in 1945, and since then the Japanese have developed a strong belief in their health benefits.
Porcini (meiwei niugan or delicious cow's liver mushrooms) Boletus edulis
There are more than one hundred and fifty varieties of boletus, but only a few varieties, the yellow, white and black ones, can be eaten. One trick is to fry them together with garlic slices. If the garlic turns black, then there is most definitely a problem. Boletus is said to dispel and, prevent colds, and strengthen the immune system. Yunnan had no SARS cases in 2003, and the locals claim this was because they eat so many mushrooms and fungus.
Dried Beef Mushroom (ganbajun) Thelephora
With is strong pine fragrance, this paper thin fungus has black and white wrinkles, and is surprisingly chewy. Shredding and frying only intensifies the sinus clearing, evergreen taste and smell. Found only in sandy soils and around the bases of pine trees, this species is limited only to Yunnan.
Termite mushrooms (jizong) Termitomyces albuminosus
As the Chinese name suggests, these taste just like tender chicken with a strong hint of 'umami', and are rich in protein, iron, calcium, and amino acids. The species gets its western name because it is actively cultivated by termites, The fungus converts woody material that the termites are unable to digest into sugars. Sometimes used as a sauce base, more often it adds a savory base to soups. Of course, it can also be stir fried along with the region's own version of prosciutto ham to make an delicious fried rice.
