Nice to read this, do these hunters make a good living off of this or is it just enough to survive?
Another thing I guess these guys must be very experienced because I know some mushrooms are dangerous and look pretty much like the edible ones. Or maybe there are no dangerous mushrooms in Taiwan?
The mushroom hunters of Taiwan are professional and sell them at open markets or to people who do sell at open markets. There is also Chinese Medicine culture that also creates strong demand. So there is a financial incentive to know what you are doing, and to be able to market these healthy treats.
