Mushrooms in hot pot are difficult to cook.
This "long-boiled" characteristic of mushrooms stems from a special substance-chitin.

If we don't chew Flammulina velutipes when we eat it, it will come out intact the next day. Other mushrooms are also structurally stable and difficult to digest. This is mainly because there is a special substance in mushrooms-chitin, which is a water-insoluble polysaccharide composed of acetylglucosamine and also participates in the formation of plant fungal cell walls, and its structure is similar to that of plant cellulose.

The cell wall of mushrooms is made of chitin, which is also found in crustaceans of shrimp, crabs and insects, so it is also called chitin. Chitin has good heat resistance, hot pot mushroom is difficult to cook, and its structure hardly changes. Chitin will be completely decomposed only when it reaches above 380°C, and the temperature of our cooking is generally around150 C, which is not enough to make mushrooms change so much.
