The ancients said: I would rather eat no meat, not live without bamboo.
See the ancient love of bamboo.
Bamboo as a very common plant in the south, it is also loved by many people, both farmers in front of the house planted behind the bamboo, but also in the mountains into pieces of wild bamboo.
And the bamboo plant, really is a "scattering of wealth", because it returns to the farmers is not just bamboo itself, in the bamboo forest can be found in a lot of "gourmet", but it is a pity that too many people do not know goods. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal on the price of the bamboo.
Today I will introduce you to a rare fungus in the bamboo forest, it is also called "Queen of the fungus", but many people have seen it but do not recognize it, but also take it as a poisonous mushrooms destroyed, it is really a bit of a pity.
Because at present the wild has to 200 yuan a catty, even if it is planted to nearly 100 yuan a catty, you know it? This game in the bamboo forest is bamboo fungus - a kind of wild mushroom that comes with its own fairy spirit.
What is bamboo fungus? It's fairy-looking
Hearing the name, some people would think it's a bamboo shoot, or a type of bamboo shoot. But in fact bamboo fungus is a kind of wild fungus, it is also called bamboo pith, bamboo ginseng, bamboo zun, veil fungus, netting fungus, fairy cage, etc. in folklore, it is a kind of cryptogamous fungus parasitized in the roots of dead bamboo.
The bamboo fungus looks very different from the vast majority of wild mushrooms we usually see, and at first glance it looks very much like the skin of a freshly shed white snake, which is a bit scary.
But if you look closely, you'll see that it has a dark green cap, a cylindrical white stalk, and a pink egg-shaped butt. On the outside of the stalk, you can see a delicate white mesh skirt that surrounds it.
Looking so different and smelling so bad, it's hard not to mistake it for a poisonous fungus.
I remember when I was a child, there is a large piece of bamboo forest in the back of my house, and in the summer time it is common to see this kind of wild fungus, but at that time do not know the goods, are treated as a poisonous mushroom destroyed, often a foot one.
Later in the market to see people selling it, only to know that it is not only non-toxic, but also edible, and extremely high nutritional value. In folklore, because of the special appearance of bamboo fungus, also known as the "snow skirt fairy", "the flower of the mountain treasures", "the flower of the fungus" and so on, from the point of view of these names, it is indeed a little bit of fairy air floating feeling. Feelings, more incredible is that it is also known as the "Queen of the fungus".
What needs to be pointed out here is that there are many kinds of bamboo fungus, most of which are non-toxic and have high food value.
But there are also a very small number of poisonous, there is a kind of yellow-skirted bamboo fungus can not be eaten, the color of its skirt is not white, but orange or lemon yellow, this kind of people must not eat.
Because of artificial cultivation and went down the altar
In the past many places have bamboo fungus distribution, even in some places in the north can also see it. But at that time, because many people didn't recognize it, they would treat it as a kind of poisonous fungus, and only a very few people knew that it could be eaten and was also very precious, because there weren't many records about bamboo fungus in ancient times.
In fact, China's history of eating bamboo fungus is very long, and its status in the past is also very high, once in ancient times, or the royal family special Oh.
I believe that many of our foodie friends have heard of the ancient "eight treasures of grass", which refers to the eight precious ingredients in the ancient Manchu banquet. Bamboo fungus is one of them, which also highlights the noble status of its imperial special supply.
In ancient times, bamboo fungus had such a high status, for one thing, it was very rare, and for another, it was very delicious and had high nutritional value. Bamboo fungus grows with its own fairy, looks very beautiful, and eat it is tender and crisp, sweet and fresh, unique flavor, can be said to be color, aroma and taste are complete.
Plus it is rich in nutrients, which not only has a large amount of protein, crude fiber, and a variety of vitamins and calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron and other minerals.
In particular, it is extremely rich in amino acids in protein, which is the main reason why bamboo fungus tastes delicious. In recent times, bamboo fungus and hibiscus has become one of the most famous dishes in China's national banquet, which is loved by both domestic and foreign guests.
And it is worth mentioning that in the past, bamboo fungus was mainly wild, but in recent times, the artificial planting technology of bamboo fungus has been mastered, and at present, there are farmers planting bamboo fungus in many southern provinces. This has made the once unattainable bamboo fungus go down to the altar and enter thousands of households.
At present, artificially planted bamboo fungus in the market is just a few dozen yuan a catty, and the more expensive ones are nearly a hundred yuan a catty. But the wild ones are still expensive, generally selling for more than 200 yuan a catty and still hard to buy.
While bamboo fungus is only slightly more expensive than flat mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, seafood mushrooms and enoki mushrooms, it is not resistant to storage, especially fresh bamboo fungus is very difficult to store and transport, So it is generally processed into a dry bamboo fungus to sell, which is why it is difficult to see bamboo fungus in the supermarket.
Conclusion
In the past, many people did not understand bamboo fungus, plus it looks very special, it is often thought to be poisonous, or can not be eaten wild mushrooms, so that many people think that it can not be eaten, do not dare to eat it, it is really a pity.
Nowadays, wild bamboo fungus is rare,and its price has risen to more than 200 yuan a catty. But fortunately, with artificial planting technology, this "queen of the fungus" has come down to the altar, and ordinary people can afford to eat it.
