The reason why Yangyang pine mushrooms are highly regarded is because they are different from pine mushrooms from other regions, such as the mushroom itself having a low moisture content, a hard body, and a deep yet rich aroma. Yangyang pine was registered as the first geographical indication forest product by the Korea Forest Service in 2006.
However, production is insufficient compared to its excellence, and as the Chuseok holiday approaches, more people are looking for bunches as gifts, and prices are continuing to skyrocket.
Meanwhile, the Songi Festival, Yangyang-gun’s representative festival, will be held from October 4th to 8th at Namdaecheon Dunji and Multipurpose Plaza in Yangyang. Unlike before, this year it will be held in conjunction with the Salmon Festival and you can enjoy various performances and experience programs.
