Matsutake mushrooms are the only few ingredients on our table that come directly from the virgin forest. As the saying goes, "what is rare is more expensive". Matsutake mushrooms are not the leeks, cabbage, and green onions in the vegetable field which plant as many as you want.
Documentary "China on the Tip of the Tongue," said: the price of a charcoal-grilled matsutake mushroom is about 1,600 yuan. Many people want to ask, is matsutake worth so much money?
In the Shangri-La area with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, in the rainy season, matsutake mushrooms may appear and disappear at any time, which is extremely difficult to find and pick. Tibetans in matsutake-producing areas usually go up the mountain with flashlights at 4 or 5 in the morning to find matsutake mushrooms. Faced with the huge virgin forest, even Tibetans who are familiar with the forest have to risk their lives to find them. Collecting matsutake requires more than physical strength and also good luck. Tibetans have to climb more than 1 km in the virgin forest on average to get a matsutake mushroom, so each pine mushroom is condensed with the sweat and even the life of the Tibetans.
Only by the end of May, when the virgin forests on the plateau origin continue to rain, can the matsutake be unearthed. After unearthed, sufficient light must be obtained immediately, but the light cannot be too strong, either. It can be said that the birth of each matsutake is a miracle of creation. The growth period of matsutake mushrooms is only 7 days. If it is not discovered by people during this period, it will disappear without a trace. From the end of October to the beginning of November, the rain in the production area decreases and the temperature decreases, and the matsutake mushrooms will slowly disappear. No matter how much people love it, if you want to see it again, you can only look forward to the next year.
