- Veggies and Mushrooms for sale in Nyachuka.
- An Iris chrysographes, common above Dartsendo.
- Looks like an Allium prattii to me, but there is many different species of wild onions.
- A species of Boletus or Xerocomus
- A proud matsutake dealer stuck with us on the road after another land slide blocked the road.
- An accident. No insurance cards out there. It has to be settled right there. An hour later a deal was struck and the road opened.
- Drolma and Tsering Tashi and his mother.
Tsering Tashi had studied law and speaks English. Very few Tibetans are learning English in the Chinese educational system. - Drolma looking for porcinis high above a valley in Nyachuka (Chinese: Yajiang)
- Spathularia flava, a common fungus in East Tibet
- Tashi is observing spore disposal from a Spathularia
- Finding the amazing Laccaria amethystea is always a treat! Luckily it is not rare.

- Chanterelles! Maybe something like Cantharellus minor, I am not sure.
- A very close relative of the king bolete, Boletus edulis.
It is traded and finds its way into export to Italy. You might have enjoyed it when buying dried porcini from Italy - A lovely group of Asters (Erigeron sp.)
- Neottia acuminata orchis,
a myco-heterotroph orchid found in the matsutake forest in Nyarong. Reminds me of Allotropa virgata aka Candy stick orchid feeding of American Matsutake. - Flower of Neottia acuminata that is distributed from the Himalayas to Korea and East Sibirea
