The article highlights the early market availability of Shangri-La matsutake mushrooms in Weixi County, with high production rates and increased expectations to peak in July across Shangri-La City and Deqin County. The mushrooms are fetching high prices due to their quality and scarcity, with over 5,000 yuan/kg for fine specimens. To improve transportation and extend shelf life, SF Yunnan has partnered with the Diqing Prefecture Government and airport, creating a efficient transportation network that allows matsutake mushrooms to reach 200 Chinese cities within 48 hours. However, concerns about the disorderly collection and decline in matsutake resources have led to restrictions on their collection, sale, purchase, and transportation in order to conserve the species and improve quality.
