    A big Thank you to Amy! She has definitely inspired me to travel to China, experience the cuisine and enjoy the "outside of my comfort zone".
    I just came back from Da Li a week ago and the mountain range that skirts the city and the lake (er hai) is phenomenal.
    To all Blondies fans old and new, a must to visit. Yunnan is chill, easy going and yearning for more visitors.

    Ohhh I would so love to visit this fungi market! I absolutely love eating and studying mushrooms. I’ve recently gotten into foraging and identifying them. I’ve also read about a special mushroom from Yunnan called “xiao ren ren” which makes you see little people after eaten😅! And you’re right Amy, some mushrooms are psychoactive when eaten raw/dried. After cooking though, the psychoactive compounds are gone. The teeny tiniest bite of a raw one won’t make you see anything though. It’s much too small of an amount to have any effects, so don’t worry!
    Not sure if you’ve heard of her, but if you could do a collab with Dianxi Xiaoge, she is incredible at mushroom foraging and is from Yunnan! She’s a wonderful cook as well😊

Some restaurants even let you wait at the table until they boiled the mushrooms enough before they bring it out.

    That Rocco guy said one thing wrong... It's not that Chinese don't like Porcini (King Bolete) because of the sour aftertaste, but among all Bolete Mushrooms in the market, Chinese usually prefers Lurid Bolete, Dark Velvet Bolete, or other more poisonous yet still edible Bolete species, which are usually way tastier then Porcini...
    So sadly Porcini get outshined by other choices from the same mushroom family...

      @@mopikozz Bolete mushrooms are called "牛肝菌/Ox Liver Mushroom" in Chinese, Porcini is commonly knows as 美味牛肝菌.
      If you are going there, you can try this 4 bolete mushrooms there, those are usually way more popular then Porcini...
      Boletus speciosus - 黃牛肝菌
      Boletus brunneissimus - 黑牛肝菌
      Boletus luridus - 見手青/紅牛肝菌
      Boletus riegius Krombh - 白蔥菌
      You can see few of them at 6:50 of the clip.
      You shall also try "鸡枞"(3:47), which are cultivated by wild termite. And the green one at 15:12 is called 青头菌, that is another great choice as well.
      And also 奶浆菌, 大红菌, 鸡油菌 and 干巴菌(4:13 taste like beef jerky).

    Thank you Amy for the wonderful videos. I came over from Anming's channel after I saw you two on her channel. I really enjoy the ice fishing and Gobi desert. I was wondering if the Taklamakan has a similar city with a Cresent Lake?

    Really enjoyed your mushroom adventure with Alice. One of your best and most interesting videos yet. Been to the mushroom market. You forgot to mention how early you have to be there, like 6am to get all the good ones
