Auricularia auricula should not be soaked for a long time after boiling in cold water. First, it will foam into a colloid, and the taste is not brittle or sticky. Second, it is easy to deteriorate. Black fungus soaked in water is tasteless and can't be eaten with peculiar smell. It has gone bad, and it will make you sick. Throw it away.

Ps: I hope I can help you and send my best wishes. I wish you peace and health all your life.
