How to choose dried mushrooms

1 When we buy dried mushrooms, the first step is to observe the umbrella cover. Lentinus edodes with thick umbrella cover and inward rolled edges have good maturity and belong to high quality dried Lentinus edodes. If the mushroom cover umbrella is very large and has no radian, it means that this mushroom belongs to an older mushroom and has passed the best edible period. It is not recommended to buy such mushrooms.

2, the outer skin color is dark yellow with a little frost, generally good quality dried mushrooms. The dried shiitake mushrooms with purplish red color prove that the storage time of this kind of shiitake mushrooms has far exceeded the normal storage time. Although dried mushrooms can be stored for a long time, if they turn purple, it means that they have been stored for too long, and the taste is very bad, and it is difficult to soak, so everyone should avoid buying dried mushrooms with purple color.

3. When buying dried mushrooms, you can pick them up and touch them with your hands to feel the moisture level of dried mushrooms. It is easy to break the dried mushrooms, and the quality of these dried mushrooms is not good. Good dried mushrooms should be crisp and not easy to crush, and not too wet at the same time. Too wet dried mushrooms are not conducive to storage, but also increase the weight, so it is extremely uneconomical to buy these dried mushrooms.
