Ginisa nga Sukol is a traditional mushroom dish from Imbang Pequeño, San Enrique, made from the shaggy ink cap mushroom harvested during specific seasons. The recipe involves sautéing onion, garlic, and tomato or sour labog leaves, then cooking the mushroom with seasoning and sometimes added meat, vegetables, or egg. This dish originated after the establishment of the Universal Robina Corporation Sugar Central in the late 1960s, which created ideal conditions for mushroom growth. Both men and women, including young people, know how to prepare this delicacy, passing the knowledge down through observation and practice within families. The tradition remains strong with no major threats, sustained by non-formal education where elders teach the younger generation through hands-on experience.
