The meeting will create chances for commercial organizations for trade talks. International trading companies will be encouraged to talk to the local commercial organizations about trading local products of mycorrhizal edible mushrooms.

C. Cultural Forum on Edible Mycorrhizal Mushrooms

- Cooking and tasting of local fresh edible mycorrhizal mushrooms.

- Matsutake, porcini and other fresh edible mycorhizal mushrooms will be cooked both in Chinese and western cuisine (international chefs are most welcome). The tasting of mushrooms will be arranged at both the opening and closing banquets, and at other times as well. We hope to turn the activity into a form of international competition if enough time and financial support are available.
