I absolutely love your writing and photos. If you ever host a TrovaTrip, I'll be the first to sign up!

This beautiful recounting transported me to the mountains of Yunnan, and lest me not overlook everything I learned. Thank you!

Well documented as well as suggestive story made of evocative traditions and usages, showing us how knowledge comes from the rhythms of nature, requiring us to develop our sensorial attention and skills. Thank you

Beautiful! I live in the PNW and we have abundant fungi on the forest floor. A fungi foraging class is what I am looking for lol and we are also planning a trip to Yunnan next spring. Most recently, had 牛肝菌 porcini and 羊肚菌 morels for the first time. Yummy!

somehow i find the description 小人人 quite amusing. Reminds me of the little people in Murakami's 1Q84
