Gallet fungus is a famous wild fungus species in Yunnan. Its meat is plump and strong, and its texture is thin and white, similar to chicken, hence the name Gallet fungus. There are many ways to eat chicken firs. Chicken firs are dried, salted or fried in vegetable oil to become dried chicken fir, pickled chicken or oiled chicken fir, which can be stored for a long time. The production season of chicken fir is from June to September every year, and most of them grow on the hillside of unpolluted red soil mountains and forests.

Yunnan Province is rich in boletus resources, mainly including white, yellow, black and red boletus. White boletus, also known as delicious boletus, grows in mixed pine and oak forests between 900 meters and 2,200 meters above sea level, or in forest edges that have been recently logged. The growth period is from the end of May to October every year. It grows more when the weather is sunny after rain and is easy to harvest.

Matsutake enjoys a high reputation in Japan and Europe. It is regarded as a treasure among edible fungi and is called the "King of Mushrooms".

5. Ganba bacteria

Ganba fungus, also known as pine hair fungus, grows under masson pine trees from July to September every year. This fungus has no caps and gills and grows in clusters like ox teeth, so it is commonly known as ox tooth fungus. Ganba fungi are yellow-brown when freshly unearthed and dark-brown when mature. The meat is hard and dry, contains nutrients such as calcium, protein, and thiamine, and has a rich aroma similar to corned beef jerky. The local people call the cured beef jerky Ganba, hence the name Ganba bacteria.
