Do not eat

Do not eat spoiled white fungus to prevent poisoning. Deteriorated dried Tremella fuciformis is burnt yellow or green-brown, not bright, the flower shape is thin and fragile, and there are black spots or orange-red patches on the pedicle. After being soaked in blisters, it becomes sticky and smells bad. In addition, any dry product with velvet on the surface is in danger of mold.

In order to make the Tremella look good, merchants will use sulfur fumigation, which can not only cover up the natural light yellow color of the Tremella, but also "restore" the moldy and spoiled Tremella into bright "good Tremella". It should be noted that "Sulfur Tremella" is white in color and smells pungent. Put a small amount on the tip of your tongue and it will have a pungent taste.
