Uljin-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do has proposed to the government special support for pine mushroom farms that have been damaged by the wildfire. According to Uljin-gun on the 21st, the scale of damage to the pine farmhouses was about 1,500 hectares due to the Uljin wildfire that lasted for 10 days from the 4th. This accounts for more than 70% of the total pine farms in Uljin. However, matsutake mushroom damage is not included in the social disaster support target. For this reason, residents who own a matsutake mushroom mountain or rent a mountain to collect matsutake mushrooms do not receive much support even though they have lost their source of income. Based on the quantity purchased by the Forestry Association last year, 12,159 kg of pine trees were traded in Uljin. It is equivalent to about 10% of the national collection of 102,193 kg. Pine farmers believe that if a forest fire breaks out in a pine forest where clusters grow, the trees will not grow properly for about 30 years. In response, the military recently proposed to the government to compensate for the loss of income from farms that were unable to gather pine trees due to wildfires.
