Yunnan Wild Mushroom Hotpot (Ye Sheng Jun Huo Guo)
Yunnan Province — monsoon season tradition
Yunnan's celebrated wild mushroom hotpot — available during monsoon season (July–September) when dozens of wild species emerge — is a showcase of the province's extraordinary fungal biodiversity. Varieties include porcini (niu gan jun), chanterelle (ji you jun), matsutake (song rong), termite mushrooms (ji zong), and dozens of regional endemics. Cooked in a mild chicken broth to let each variety's distinct flavour express.
