Daily News Thai Caption: Let's Eat Mushrooms

 

Daily News reporters went to Muang district of Amnat Charoen in central north easternThailand where local businesswomen have turned mushroom hunters. 

 

It's the rainy season and many varieties can be foraged legally in a 5,000 rai area called Pa Dong Siboo even if the ladies have to go deep into the forest.

 

Sukanya Kateewong, 48, said lots of her friends were eating "Gaeng Het" a dish with mushrooms that is not too hot but promotes good health.

She said that she would not get mushrooms in the market - they are not fresh, you need to pick them yourself.

 

Motorcycle parts dealer Samruay said that mushrooms were good for the skin, digestion and blood. 

 

She and her pals were convinced of old wives' tales that mushrooms promote beauty.

 

They are going to eat as much as they can in the rainy season to prove that.

 

The media said that some varieties of foraged mushrooms can sell for up to 500 baht a kilo.
