Autumn Harvest｜Chaolu Mushroom Garden: A Treasure Trove for Kids

I can't resist the joy of mushroom picking—it's even more addictive than strawberry picking! I stumbled upon this mushroom garden online, and the scene was spectacular. With more than a dozen varieties of mushrooms across several large greenhouses, it was an eye-opening and educational experience for the kids! You can see all sorts of amazing mushrooms: oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, Agrocybe aegerita, abalone mushrooms, morels, white shimeji mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, lion's mane mushrooms, reishi mushrooms, snow fungus, and wood ear mushrooms. The available mushrooms vary with the season. You can pick mushrooms freely and take home 2 kg. There were baskets overflowing with shiitake mushrooms! Even if you pick more, they won't force you to take it all—just take what you need. The owner is always smiling and very friendly. She didn't mind when people picked a lot and then decided not to take it all. Collecting Eggs 🥚🍳 The kids loved this too. I initially thought the eggs were store-bought and placed there, but when we cracked them open at home, the yolks were so yellow! They were delicious when scrambled, clearly free-range eggs. We were thrilled. Animal Feeding 🐇🐐 Rabbits and goats roam freely around. They eagerly ate the carrots we fed them and weren't aggressive at all. The little rabbits chased after the kids—it was so much fun. Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Corn 🌽🍠 Highly recommended! 69 yuan for 2 corns and 2 sweet potatoes. The owner starts a fire and roasts them on-site. The corn was incredibly fragrant, completely different from boiled corn. I highly recommend this. This is truly a treasure of a mushroom garden. It may look simple, but the joy it brings is boundless. Even when it got dark, the kids didn't want to leave. We'll definitely be back!
