Daily Forest Ranger: Start Saving Giant Pandas

Chapter 132 Entering the Mountain, a Beautiful Discovery in the Jungle

After staying here for a while, Lin Xuan and An Keer continued to set off.

They went deeper and deeper into the deep forest.

Just as they continued to walk, suddenly Lin Xuan and An Keer smelled a faint fragrance in the air.

"Lin Xuan, did you smell it?"

Feeling the faint fragrance in the air, An Keer looked around and asked Lin Xuan at the same time.

"Well, there is a faint fragrance in the air."

"I just don't know where it came from."

(A faint aroma? Did the host find anything?)
(Yeah, what the hell is it, the anchor is looking for it, let us see it too.)
(It's a pity that we are not there, so we can't smell it.)
"Then we'll look for it?"

Lin Xuan looked at An Keer. In fact, he was also very curious about where the faint fragrance in the air came from.

"Okay, let's look for it."

An Keer was naturally very curious.

Afterwards, the two began to search in this jungle.

Soon, Lin Xuan and An Keer came to a plant that looked like an "egg", which should be a fungus.

The audience in the anchor room were also very curious to see this strange-looking thing that looked like an "egg".

Just when the doubtful audience was about to post a barrage to ask what happened, the "egg" in the camera slowly moved at this moment.

The pointed part of the "egg" slowly cracked a small crack.Then it rose slowly.

Only then did Lin Xuan realize that it was not an egg, but a very special kind of fungus!
Although it was slow, the fungus was still growing slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After the pointed canopy rose to a certain level, a scene that everyone did not expect happened
I saw a thin veil suddenly spit out around the umbrella cover!
The veil is very white, covering the whole fungus, like a holy veil!
It is breathtakingly beautiful.

It wasn't until this moment that Lin Xuan recognized what it was.

"It's actually... Shisun!"

It's no wonder that Lin Xuan is short-sighted, it's because Shi Sun's growth requirements are indeed too harsh.

Speaking of the name Shisun, most people may be at a loss, but if you talk about its close relative, Dictyophora, it should not be too unfamiliar.

They are also rare ingredients, but the difference is that the bamboo fungus can now be cultivated artificially on a large scale, and the farmed bamboo fungus can already enter thousands of households at a low price.

But Shi Sun is still covered with a veil of mystery, hiding from most people's cognition and sight.

Compared with bamboo sun, the biggest difference of stone sun is its growing location and short harvest period.

According to common sense, fungi must grow in fertile soil or deeply buried humus in order to thrive.

But Shisun is different. It grows on steep rocks, takes root in the thick moss in the crevices of rock walls, and draws nutrients from them.

If it’s just like this, it’s fine. If it can maintain a shape that can be picked for 1-2 days after it is fully mature, like the bamboo fungus, it will not be so rare.

The most abnormal thing about Shi Sun is that it exists in the form of "egg" most of the time.

Only at a short moment after being nourished by rainwater, will it grow rapidly, just like the gestures seen by Lin Xuan, An Keer, and the audience in the live broadcast room, blooming into a flower in just a few minutes. full form.

If there is no one to pick them during this period, the stone sun will quickly wither in just half an hour and turn into a ball of mucus, which is naturally inedible.

Harsh growing environment, tricky growing time, appalling withering speed.

All these make it so difficult for Shi Sun to be known.

Even Lin Xuan, who lived in the mountains since he was a child, has only heard about Shi Sun from the older generation, and has never seen the real Shi Sun.

But now, Lin Xuan finally found Shi Sun here, how could he see Shi Sun being wasted in front of his eyes like this?
So after understanding what it was, Lin Xuan, who came back to his senses, quickly climbed up the rock wall and reached out to pick off the stone sun.

The people in the live broadcast room were still immersed in this amazing change, but they saw Lin Xuan climbing up like a gecko, and the speed of light swept the Shisun plant that was like a princess's veil. Picked it off.

Then, under the puzzled eyes of everyone, he put the beautiful stone sun into the mud beside him and rolled it.

Shi Sun, who was originally beautiful, suddenly turned into a pitch-black mass.

(Anchor, what are you doing! Such a beautiful thing, why roll in the mud!)

(Yeah, I really don't understand.)
(Anchor, explain to us, why did you do this?)
(Does this thing need to be rolled in the mud before it can be eaten?)

(It's the first time I've seen such a method.)
Not only the audience in the live broadcast room, but even An Keer on the side was full of puzzlement.

But An Keer believes that Lin Xuan must have his own reasons for doing so.

Sensing everyone's confusion, Lin Xuan wrapped Shisun in mud in all directions, then raised his head and explained to everyone:
"Although this thing looks very similar to the bamboo fungus that everyone usually knows, it is different from the bamboo fungus. After the umbrella cover and gauze curtain are fully opened, if it is not picked in time and the air is isolated with mud, it will quickly collapse and melt. Turned into mucus, completely inedible."

(Holy shit, is that actually the case?"

(will it still melt?)

(Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, this thing is so delicate! No wonder I haven’t heard of it before.)
"I actually didn't expect to find this Shisun. Although we live on the side of the Qinling Mountains, few of the mountain people on our side have actually seen Shisun."

Lin Xuan looked at Shisun in his hand with great emotion and said, "The most expensive and delicious wild fungus in the market should be the wild matsutake, right?"

"Although wild matsutake is hidden very deeply and can only be found for one month a year, it is still too common compared to Shisun.

Lin Xuan carefully placed the stone sun on the plastic wrap on the ground, and then Lin Xuan continued to search along the stone wall.

Now that he found a Shi Sun, there should be more here, so Lin Xuan is going to try his luck to see if he can find more. If he can find some more, then he is also lucky.

Afterwards, Lin Xuan searched a few hundred meters forward, and as expected, he found two Shisun plants that had just opened their canopies.

Lin Xuan was very happy when it was covered with mud in the same way.
