Mushroom pickers frequently visit Pine Hill early in the morning, when the sunlight starts to shine. Many people visit the pine trees of Tuyen Lam Lake, Suoi Vang Lake, Trai Mat Pine Forest, and other locations because of the diversity of delicious mushrooms.

Forest mushrooms often grow under pine trees, where light shines. Identifying a tree stump with mushrooms will easily find other mushroom clusters.

For tourists who have little to no knowledge about mushrooms, booking a mushroom-picking tour from a reputable company or going with experienced locals is a safe way to experience this activity.

There are numerous varieties of mushrooms, arranged by form or flavor, that are widely seen, such as yellow khaki mushroom, caesar mushroom, coral mushroom, boletus mushroom, shiitake mushroom, and so on, with attractive colors that stand out against the green grass.

In addition, Da Lat's pine hills are quite slippery in the rainy season. Tourists who go mushroom picking should bring spare raincoats and wear long clothes to keep their bodies warm and avoid mosquito and insect bites. They should choose flat shoes, shoes with high grip, or wear boots to avoid slipping on rocks.

Visitors who join the mushroom-picking trip will spend the day strolling through Da Lat’s pine forest, learning to identify edible and toxic mushrooms that grow in this area. Following that, everyone will be guided to seek mushrooms, collect them, choose a suitable site to camp, and rest while waiting to taste wonderful mushroom meals among green pine trees.

Wandering together to pick mushrooms in the middle of the forest with the scent of dirt and pine resin, seeing the morning sunshine through raindrops left on the leaves will provide tourists with a wonderful memory they can never forget.

Picking mushrooms requires technique. When picking them, tourists must use two fingers to firmly grasp the mushroom stem and push it to one side. This method helps the mushrooms not lose their caps, while also preserving the roots to absorb nutrients from the soil and continue to grow for the next harvest.

A lovely destination mushroom lovers can visit in Da Lat is the Mushroom Village. It is a unique agricultural tourist area in Dalat, about 10km from the city center. With an area of about 7 hectares, this village has become a place for researching, cultivating, and experimenting with native and imported mushroom varieties, suitable for Da Lat's naturally cool and fresh climate all year round. Under organic care, Mushroom Village has produced nutritious, flavorful mushrooms, loved by food connoisseurs.
