The net on the bamboo fungus needs to be cut off.

The mesh part of the bamboo fungus is edible, but to prevent odor, it is recommended to cut it off before cooking. There are two parts of dried bamboo fungus that cannot be eaten, namely the cap and the small white ring at the root. It is best to cut off these two places.

The mesh part of bamboo fungus is the fungus skirt of bamboo fungus. It is generally recommended to remove this part before cooking, because the fungus skirt is the main source of bamboo fungus odor and tastes like washing powder. The outer packaging of some bamboo fungus will also indicate that the fungus skirt (mesh part) of the bamboo fungus must be removed before cooking, leaving only the fungus tube for consumption.
