1, Lentinus edodes is a very delicious edible fungus. As long as it is not a mushroom, you can make soup with it, such as meat, pork, chicken, beef and fish. Vegetables such as lettuce, carrots, celery, papaya, cowpea, melon, etc. Can be eaten with mushrooms without any side effects.

2. Lentinus edodes belongs to Basidiomycetes, Agaricus, Tricholoma and Lentinus. It is the second largest mushroom in the world and a precious edible mushroom with a long-standing reputation in China. The earliest cultivation of Lentinus edodes in China has a history of more than 800 years. Lentinus edodes is also a famous medicinal fungus in China. Physicians of all ages have written articles about the medicinal properties and functions of mushrooms.

3. Lentinus edodes is a kind of food with homology of medicine and food, which has high nutritional, medicinal and health care values.

4. Life history: Lentinus edodes spores germinate into hyphae, which grow, develop and differentiate into fruiting bodies. The fruiting body forms countless spores, which is the life history of mushrooms. Under natural conditions, it takes about 8- 12 months or even longer to complete this life cycle, but the life cycle of artificial cultivation with sawdust is shortened by 3-4 months, which greatly shortens the production cycle of mushrooms. The generation of Lentinus edodes has three main stages. The first stage: spores germinate into unicellular and multicellular hyphae at a certain temperature and humidity, and then form membranes to form multicellular and unicellular. Because Lentinus edodes belongs to allogamy, there are gender differences, and the single-celled hyphae germinated by single spore are sterile and cannot differentiate into fruiting bodies of Lentinus edodes. The second stage: when the mononuclear hyphae grow to a certain stage, two different "sex" mononuclear hyphae produce protrusions near some parts, and the protruding parts contact with each other after elongation, so that two different cells communicate with each other and the protoplasm is fused together, and one of the nuclei is transferred to the other cell to complete the coordination of protoplasm, thus becoming a multicellular binuclear hyphae, and then locking combination is carried out. This kind of mycelium is also called multicellular binuclear mycelium, which is more than the first kind. The third stage: when the locked binuclear hyphae grow and develop to a certain physiological stage, under appropriate conditions, they form very dense hyphae, form the primordia of fruiting bodies, further develop into mushroom buds, and finally develop into fruiting bodies.
