Every August, a certain kind of enthusiast gathers in Bhutan. They arrive to be educated, to be entertained, to do a little hunting... and then a lot of eating. The hunting doesn’t require a weapon, by the way... just a basket.The Matsutake Mushroom Festival, named after the species of mushrooms very popular in Japan, is an annual tribute to the dozens of varieties of edible fungus that grow in Bhutan. They’re not all edible, of course, which is why the festival provides lots of displays and education on what you’re looking for before you go off to find your own little patch. Or, if you’d just like to sit and take in the dancing and the color, you can get a few pounds of your favorite mushrooms at a bargain price.Bhutan is home to plenty of festivals that symbolize the country’s beautiful rituals, rich culture and traditions. https://orrog.com
