菌子，藏在夏日裡的珍饈美饌
炎炎夏日，涼爽宜人的春城昆明又成了人所欣羨的避暑勝地。
In the hot summer days, Kunming, a cool and pleasant spring city, has become a summer resort.
不過，在這個季節里，昆明可不僅僅只有這張招牌，還有一張王牌，是令饕餮之徒乃至一切嚮往美好食物之人所垂涎的，那就是菌子。
However, in this season, Kunming is not only a popular destination , but also has its specialty, which is the fungus that all the people yearn for the delicious food.
一陣雨一陣太陽，青山翠林之中，乾巴菌，雞樅菌，牛肝菌，青頭菌等紛紛從樹下草間探出頭來，沾著雨露，沐著陽光，最具原生態的它們，是昆明人夏日心中的寵兒，口中的至愛。
In the rainy or sunny days, dried bacillus, chicken bacillus, boletus, green head fungus, etc. are grown in green hills. They are the most ecological fungus which Kunming people love so much, and would like to taste immediately in the summer.
乾巴菌
Thelephora ganbajun
先引一段文化名人汪曾祺老先生的話吧：
「乾巴菌，菌也，但有陳年宣威火腿香味、寧波油浸糟白魚鯗香味、蘇州風雞香味、南京鴨胗肝香味，且雜有松毛清香氣味。」
Let』s start with a quote from Mr. Wang Zengqi, a cultural celebrity.
"Dry bacillus is fungus, but it has the scent of aged Xuanwei ham, Ningbo white oil-soaked fish, Suzhou flavor chicken, Nanjing duck liver , and mixed with light fragrance of pine."
吃一菌而能品出百味，一是汪老不愧為美食家，一是乾巴菌味道之美的確不負虛名。
The fungus can be tasted a hundred flavors. Mr. Wang is really a gourmet, and taste of dry bacillus do deserve the fame.
乾巴菌是昆明諸菌中的貴族：不僅味道鮮美勝於其它，由於它生長於松樹下，常常夾雜著泥土和松針，不易尋找，揀擇起來也費時費力，所以價格也是有點貴呢。
Dried bacillus is noble of all fungi in Kunming: it not only tastes better than others, but it grows under the pine trees, often mixed with soil and pine needles, which is difficult to find, and it takes time and effort to pick it up, so it is also a bit expensive.
牛肝菌
Boletus
牛肝菌是菌子中的平民，量多價平，很受市民垂青，百姓餐桌上最為常見。
Boletus is common in the fungus family. You can buy a lot with a rather cheap price . It is very popular among the citizens, and the most common dish on the dining table.
牛肝菌因菌體肥碩、形似牛肝而得名，味道鮮美，清香可口，號稱為「四大菌王」之一，有黃牛肝、黑牛肝、白牛肝、紅牛肝等種類。
Boletus is named after its fat body and shape resembling beef liver. It is delicious and fragrant. It is known as one of the " Four Fungi Kings ". It includes yellow cattle liver, black cattle liver, white cattle liver and red cattle liver etc.
其中尤以紅牛肝最為出名，味道極鮮。但如果製作不當，食用後容易出現幻覺，所以食用時一定要務必小心哦。
Among them, the red cattle liver is the most famous，it tastes very delicious.If it is not made properly, people would easily produce illusion after eating，so you must be careful when eating.
青頭菌
Green head fungus
青頭菌，顧名思義，菌帽多呈青綠色。
Green head fungus, as the name suggests, is mostly green.
它含有豐富的蛋白質和氨基酸、植物纖維等成份，口感細嫩，回味悠長，飽藏著濃郁的大自然的清香氣息。
It is rich in protein, amino acids, plant fiber and other ingredients. It has a delicate taste and a long aftertaste, which is full of natural fragrance.
大自然的氣息
青頭菌外形小巧可愛，不大的身軀內蘊藏著大量的水分，稱其為菌子中的「小鮮肉」也不為過，炒制後有豐富的芡汁，極為下飯。
The Green head fungus is small and lovely in shape, and it contains a lot of water. It is not exaggerated to call it "small fresh meat" in the fungus. After frying, it produces rich oyster sauce which is extremely tasty.
松茸
Pine mushroom
和乾巴菌相比，松茸的「貴族」氣息可謂有過之而無不及。
Compared with dried bacillus, the "noble" feature of the pine mushroom is beyond the reach.
它對環境要求極高，主要生長於海拔2000-4000米及以上的無任何污染的松樹和櫟樹自然雜交林中，在香格里拉較為常見。
It is extremely environmentally demanding which mainly grows in the natural hybrid forests of pine and oak trees with no pollution at altitude of 2000-4000 meters or above, and is more common in Shangri-La.
REC
昆明不產松茸，但這並不妨礙嗜菌如命的昆明人對它的熱愛。一到這個時節，從高原遠道而來的松茸就出現在昆明的菜市中，即使貴為「天價」，也照吃不誤。
Kunming does not grow pine mushrooms, but this does not prevent fungus-thirsty Kunming people from loving it. At this time, the pine mushroom coming from the plateau appears in Kunming"s vegetable market, even if it is expensive as "sky-high price", people still take it on the dinning table.
至於味道，來聽聽《舌尖上的中國》是怎麼說的吧：「松茸的香味濃烈襲人，稍經炙烤，就會被熱力逼出一種礦物質的釅香。這令遠離自然的人將此物視若珍寶。」
As for the taste, let』s listen to 「China on the tip of the tongue」: 「The pine mushroom smells strongly fragrant. After roasting for short time, it will produce a mineral aroma. This makes people far away from nature value it as a treasure.
除了以上諸菌，在昆明的夏日裡，常見的還有雞樅菌、羊肚菌、虎掌菌，以及雜菌如雞油菌、奶漿菌、谷熟菌、掃把菌、老人頭菌等等，足以讓你過夠口腹之癮，不過，小編在此提醒你，不認識的菌一定不要貪吃哦，以防有中毒的風險。
In addition to the above fungus, the common ones are chicken bacillus, morel, tiger palm fungus, and miscellaneous fungus such as chicken oil fungus, milk fungus, cereal ripening fungus, broom fungus and old man"s head fungus, etc. You can have a good selection . However, we would like to remind you that the be careful about eating the fungus because there is a risk of poisoning.
