This type of one-day foraging tour has become a burgeoning trend in Yunnan's summer tourism sector this year. Many visitors make a special journey to Yunnan to partake in these tours, as the province's abundant rainfall and moderate temperatures usher in a prime season for wild fungi each summer.
The mushroom-themed tours are typically led by an organizer and a seasoned local to ensure an enjoyable and safe experience. They often last for half a day or a full day, and offer participants a range of activities such as foraging for fungi, taking photographs, and indulging in a fungi feast.
The tour fees, often determined by the number of participants and the location, range from 100 yuan ($14) to 300 yuan per tourist.
