Travelers say that Li Zhenhao's "Mountain Studio" is not only a handmade studio and cafe, but also a wonderful Yunnan plant specimen museum. What's more special is that she picked them all herself, so there are stories about each plant. The old coach of the cycling group said that we have to start our cycling half an hour in advance. Some people can't move when they pass by Li Zhenhao's place and stay for half an hour. (His cycling activity of Cangshan and Erhai Lake | Visiting Villages and People , passing by the village at the foot of Wuwei Temple Mountain, which is also the village where Li Zhenhao's studio is located.). What's more, the enthusiastic Li Zhenhao always prepares tea and snacks for the guests passing by, and it is really pleasant to take a rest there and look at the specimens of various exotic fruit plants.
"I am really good. I often travel to various places in Yunnan with my friends. Most of the time I spend looking for plants and their fruits, collecting them and making specimens of them, and presenting them in different forms. This is one of the great pleasures of my hiking trips."
Before the rainy season came, I longed to become a mushroom tycoon. If possible, I hope to achieve my first goal this year: to let 300 kinds of mushrooms find their home in the "Mountain Studio" .
After the rainy season, mushroom sampling activities become more abundant, there are more types of mushrooms, and more people join in preserving and collecting mushrooms.
For those who participated in mushroom picking , I hope to use the mushrooms you picked to make mushroom lamps. You can start making mushroom specimens on the second day of mushroom picking. On the first day, you can send the mushrooms to the studio (near my sister's house, where we eat after picking mushrooms).
Experience time:
13:00-15:00 2 hours
Activities:
Using lichens from Cangshan Mountain and the surrounding areas of Dali, and mushrooms collected in summer, we created a miniature mushroom world by ourselves.
Main materials: mushrooms, lichens and plant fruits from Cangshan Mountain and surrounding areas.
Dali's summer is the rainy season, the mushroom growing season, and the busiest time for the team leader. The mushroom picking team gets up early every day and often hikes in the rain. Despite this, everyone is still very excited. After discovering new mushrooms, everyone shares their daily harvest after going down the mountain.
Picking mushrooms is like searching for treasure in the forest. I want to keep every type of mushroom I encounter, or at least keep one to commemorate the experience.
Some mushrooms to pick in the summer:
Diary entry before the end of last year's rainy season:
"The rainy season is almost over, and every trip up the mountain feels like a countdown. We cherish every mushroom we pick because we know it may be the last batch of the year. I decided to save the mushrooms to enjoy in the off-season and look forward to next year's mushrooms."
Some mushrooms and plants in the store:
Some lichen data collected from a mountaineering trip.
