Tips for choosing white fungus
1. Look at the color tone. Good white fungus is white in color or slightly yellow in color. The white fungus that is too white may have been smoked with sulfur powder. If it is light yellow or dark yellow, it is likely that it was air-dried after returning to moisture, and the quality is not very good.
2. Look at the appearance. Good white fungus has a smooth appearance, large flowers, puffy layers, well-proportioned gaps, and plump meat texture. There are no black spots or residues on the white fungus stems. Incomplete flower shape and unclean pedicles are of poor quality.
3. Look at the sense of hierarchy. White fungus contains a lot of collagen fibers, so good white fungus is flexible and not easy to break.
4. Smell. Good white fungus is dry and has no odor. Silver that has been smoked with special chemical preparations will still have a pungent smell. Silver that has become damp, moldy, or moldy will have a strange smell when you understand it. It is recommended not to take it.
5. Taste. If the white fungus tastes a little sweet, it means that the quality of the white fungus is very poor, and it is best not to eat it.
