[Identification method of high-quality auricularia auricula] Before drying, high-quality auricularia auricula has big ears, thick flesh, black and bright ears, and slightly black behind the ears, which is strong and elastic. After drying, the whole ear shrinks evenly, is thin and complete, and feels light, crisp and not sticky. After the hair is soaked in clear water, the whole ear expands evenly to restore elasticity and spread out separately. For example, there are dark gray irregular spots on the surface of dry ears, which are stained before the production of black fungus. After drying, these spots are thinner than the surrounding healthy ear meat. These festering noodles will be moldy after being soaked in clear water. When rubbed by hand, moldy meat will dissolve and sink away from the ear. Such fungus only affects its quality level and will not endanger personal health, as long as it is washed with water.
