Buyeo County to Hold 'Yangsongi and Pyogobuseot Festival' from the 25th to 28th

Buyeo County in Chungnam announced on the 21st that the 'Button Mushroom and Shiitake Mushroom Festival' will be held for four days from the 25th to the 28th at the Seodong Park area.

Buyeo is the largest producer of button and shiitake mushrooms in Korea, and this year marks the 60th anniversary of button mushroom cultivation.

This year's festival will feature a 60th anniversary event for button mushroom cultivation, a special exhibition on mushroom products in Korea, and a mushroom cooking exhibition.

There will also be direct sales booths for agricultural products, as well as sales and tasting corners for processed products made from mushrooms.

In particular, visitors can participate in hands-on experiences such as virtual reality (VR) and applications to simulate mushroom cultivation technology, a button mushroom meal kit experience, making wooden cup coasters, and mushroom face painting.

Additionally, free paper bags featuring Buyeo characters and recipes for 24 types of mushroom dishes will be provided.

A county official said, "Mushroom farming is becoming increasingly difficult due to climate change and rising imports," and added, "We hope that through the Button Mushroom and Shiitake Mushroom Festival, farmers and consumers in Buyeo County, the center of the mushroom industry, can overcome these challenging times together."
