Bonghwa Pine Mushroom Festival
Bonghwa Pine Mushroom Festival is an annual festival seeking to promote the culture and tourism of Bonghwa and the excellence of pine mushroom from Bonghwa, the largest producer of pine mushroom in South Korea. Since its foundation in 1997, the festival has been organized from around the end of September until early October, during which visitors can collect natural pine mushroom in the wild, since pine mushroom cannot be artificially cultivated.
