First, they grow in different environments. Tricholoma matsutake is an extremely precious natural fungus, which generally grows in Korean pine forests with a tree age of more than 30 years. The growth conditions are extremely bad, and it is rarely planted artificially at present, and it is known as the king of bacteria. Tricholoma matsutake generally grows in pine forests, and the growth environment is relatively simple. After the rain, it will grow from the roots of pine trees.
Secondly, the distribution of the two is different. Tricholoma matsutake is generally found in some primitive forests with harsh environment, such as North China, Northeast China and Changbai Mountain. Tricholoma matsutake is mainly distributed in southern Sichuan, Hunan and Taiwan Province provinces.
Then there is the difference in appearance between the two. Tricholoma matsutake's foot cover is symmetrical and looks like an umbrella. The appearance is bright yellow or grayish white. The shape of Tricholoma matsutake is medium to large, mostly flat hemispherical to flat, white in color, with yellowish brown flat filiform scales.
Finally, the taste of the two is different, and the fresh Tricholoma matsutake is also unique, with a pine fragrance, which tastes refreshing and smooth, accompanied by a strong fragrance. Tricholoma matsutake has a light smell, and it will stink if it is not close, and it tastes rough.
Tricholoma matsutake is a rare natural medicinal fungus in the world and a national second-class endangered species. Due to the deterioration of the environment and large-scale predatory collection, wild Tricholoma matsutake resources are gradually exhausted, the global Tricholoma matsutake output is decreasing year by year, and its economic value is rising.
