Eating products of the forest, tears welling up. Climbing to the highest hilltops, and trudging under dark forest canopies, mushroom hunters always face many hidden risks, such as being stung by forest bees, bitten by snakes, fallen off motorcycles, or falling into holes..., and often have to endure sudden thunderstorms in the forest. In return, along with the joy and excitement that mushroom hunting brings, many people can earn millions of dong each day to improve their livelihoods.

This season is when herbs are high in medicine and bees make honey. People in the highland of A Luoi then start their hard and dangerous trips looking for vegetables, mushrooms, honey, creek fishes, and so on.
