It must have suitable soil (covered by Rhodospora forest leaves) and a suitable climate (sultry weather after rain).

There are currently no deep-processed products of Rhododendron sp., which are all sold manually by farmers or dried over charcoal fire. They are health-care edible fungi. Many farmers in Longmen Town have rooms dedicated to roasting red mushrooms. Chen Shiyi told reporters that if 5 kilograms of fresh red mushrooms are baked into dried products, about 1 kilogram can be obtained. In years with a lot of rainfall, the red mushrooms have more moisture and will weigh less after drying.
