1 Why do mushrooms smell like pesticides? Fresh mushrooms should not smell of pesticides. What you may smell is a smell of the mushroom itself. Maybe you tasted it and it didn't taste good. Because fresh mushrooms contain ergosterol and have a special smell, ordinary insects, slugs and even mice don't eat it, so it is not necessary to use pesticides to cultivate mushrooms. There are also few pesticide residues in the raw materials for cultivating mushrooms. Therefore, fresh mushrooms don't taste like pesticides.

2 How to preserve dried shiitake mushrooms After dried shiitake mushrooms are preserved improperly, it is easy to against the tide. After the mushrooms are dried, they should be quickly packed into plastic bags in grades. In order to prevent the invasion of moisture, you can put a small bag of inorganic sodium chloride in a plastic bag to prevent the sugar in the mushroom from oozing out and discoloring, and to prevent the wheat moth from laying eggs and hatching. In order to prevent pests such as mushrooms and moths, it can also be fumigated with carbon disulfide for 24 hours before storage, and then stored after the residual gas is removed.

1, dry storage: Lentinus edodes has strong water absorption, and it is easy to oxidize and deteriorate when the water content is high, and it will also become moldy and black. Therefore, mushrooms must be dried before storage. An appropriate amount of hygroscopic agent, such as massive lime or dry charcoal, must be put in the storage container to prevent moisture.

2. Low temperature storage: Lentinus edodes must be stored in a low temperature and ventilated place. If possible, the container containing mushrooms can be sealed and stored in the refrigerator or cold storage.

3. Storage away from light: infrared rays in light will heat up mushrooms, and ultraviolet rays will trigger photochemical action, thus accelerating the deterioration of mushrooms. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid storing mushrooms in strong light and packaging them with light-transmitting materials.

4. Sealed storage: oxidation reaction is the necessary process of mushroom qualitative change. If the oxygen supply is cut off, its oxidative deterioration can be suppressed. Mushrooms can be stored in sealable containers, such as tin cans and ceramic cans, which should be lined with food bags. Open the container mouth as little as possible, vent the air in the lining bag when sealing, and store it in the oxygen-pumping and nitrogen-filling bag if possible.

5. Separate storage: Mushrooms have strong adsorption and must be stored separately, that is, containers for storing mushrooms cannot be mixed with other items, and warehouses for storing mushrooms cannot be mixed with other materials. In addition, mushrooms should not be stored in containers with volatile odor or containers that absorb odor.

Eating more mushrooms is beneficial to the cold and bitter nature of mushrooms and beneficial to the liver and stomach. Ancient Chinese scholars have long found that mushroom food can improve the function of brain cells, and regular consumption can strengthen the body and improve intelligence.

Bacon is rich in phosphorus, potassium and sodium, and also contains elements such as fat, protein, cholesterol and carbohydrates.

4 How to slice mushrooms Cut the pedicels along the top of the pedicels of mushrooms with scissors. The whole mushroom after pedicle removal is suitable for stew.

The mushroom umbrella faces upwards, and along the dotted line as shown in the figure, the knife edge is cut into oblique slices at an inclination of 45 degrees. Inclined slices are suitable for frying.
