जंगल में रुगड़ा पुटु की तलाश | How to find Rugda mushroom in Jungle | Main Bhi Bharat

Rugda mushrooms, known for their exceptional taste and nutritional value, are a rare and highly prized variety. Found only in specific jungles during a brief season, these mushrooms are a true delicacy in tribal regions like Netarhat in Jharkhand. What makes Rugda mushrooms even more special is the challenging process of collecting them. We had the unique experience of trekking several kilometers through the dense forests of Netarhat, guided by a local tribal family. This journey not only highlighted the physical effort involved but also the deep knowledge the tribal communities possess about their natural surroundings. Rugda mushrooms are not just high in protein but are also one of the most expensive varieties, reflecting their rarity and the difficulty of harvesting them. The experience of collecting these mushrooms offered a profound connection to the land and the traditional ways of life that have sustained these communities for generations.
