"Ganbajun" being sold on the market in Kunming. Its scientific name is Thelephora ganbajun Zang and was formerly known as Thelephora vialis Schwein., after an American relative, which is commonly listed as inedible. Ganbajun is regarded as a choice edible in Yunnan. Tom Volk told me that it is sliced across very thinly and fried, which results in a crispy texture. © Daniel Winkler
"Bianlu honggu", Russula virescens (Schaeff.) Fr. is a beautiful green brittlegill. This cracking Russula is also popular in Europe.

Visiting the Botanical Gardens near Kunming
 Lysurus mokusin f. sinensis, the Lantern stinkhorn growing in Kunming Botanical Garden. In the picture above 3 stages are nicely recognizable: an egg (supposedly edible), the "hatching" of the fruiting body surrounded by a future volva. Also showing a typical rhizomorph. The mature fruiting body consists of a pseudostipe with a fertile head covered with a fetid sticky substance (gleba) that attracts insects.© Daniel Winkler
