In fact, bamboo fungus is not a part of bamboo, but a fungus. Bamboo fungus, also known as bamboo fungus, veil fungus and bamboo girl, is a kind of cryptogamic fungus parasitized on the root of bitter bamboo, whose shape is slightly similar to the net-like dried white snakeskin, with a dark green cap, and it is known as "Snow Skirt Fairy" as well as "Flower of the Mountain Treasures".

What part of the bamboo is bamboo fungus

The growth of bamboo fungus is very rapid, before maturity, its stalk folded in the cap, like a disk of compressed spring, and when the stalk rupture, the stalk will be very quickly "pop open".

But the life span of Dictyostelium is very short, mostly in the morning at 8-10 o'clock, it will stretch and open the skirt, and will shrink after a short period of time. It needs to be harvested within 2-3 days to avoid rotting and disappearing. After harvesting, it is necessary to accelerate the processing and drying to dry, which is the reason why there is no fresh product of bamboo fungus.

Bamboo fungus was first domesticated in China in the 1980s, and the raw materials used in its artificial cultivation are wood, bagasse, bamboo and wood chips, etc. There are box planting, bed planting and open bamboo forest cultivation.
