Fugong Black Termite Mushrooms

Last updated 2026-11-16 — Fugong Black Termite Mushrooms – A Yunnan Nujiang specialty. Termite mushrooms can be found across the Nujiang region, but those from Fugong in Nujiang Prefecture, a popular Yunnan travel destination, are the most famous. First, they are abundant: as soon as spring thunder rumbles and spring rain falls, the mushrooms eagerly sprout from the earth, growing in clusters in cornfields, next to vegetable gardens, and along mountain slopes and foothills. Second, they are of high quality. The black termite mushrooms from Fugong in Nujiang Prefecture, a key Yunnan travel spot, are considered the finest among their kind, with a rich aroma so strong that some people can locate them simply by following the scent downwind. When eaten, their flesh is exceptionally tender and boasts a subtle sweet aftertaste that lingers on the palate.
