I bought bamboo fungus and kept it for a while, but found that it turned yellow after drying. So if the dried bamboo fungus turns yellow, does it mean it is bad? Can the bamboo fungus be eaten if it turns yellow?

It's not broken!

Fresh bamboo shoots are white and look good, but they will naturally change color over time. Unless they are dried with sulfur, they will remain white for a long time. Generally, they are naturally air-dried and dried. The bamboo fungus will slowly change color, but it will not affect the quality and taste. It just doesn't look as fresh as the white ones before.

Can I still eat bamboo fungus if it turns yellow?

The yellow color of bamboo fungus is due to exposure to air. If there is no peculiar smell and the expiration date has not expired, it can be consumed normally.

Dicophora is a saprophytic fungus in the bamboo forest, which uses decomposed dead bamboo roots, bamboo stalks and leaves as a source of nutrients. In the wild, it mostly grows in bamboo forests such as Nanzhu, Pingzhu, Kuzhu, and Cizhu. Its soil quality includes black loam, purple soil, yellow soil, etc. Bamboo fungus lives a saprophytic life, and its hyphae can penetrate the antagonistic lines of many microorganisms and utilize cellulose and lignin that many microorganisms cannot utilize.

Therefore, during artificial cultivation, bamboo sawdust, various crop straws and a small amount of inorganic salts can be used to meet their nutritional needs.
