The fruiting body of Ulmus elata is rich in protein. The protein content is between that of animals and plants. It is a high-protein and low-fat food. Crude protein (including water-soluble protein) accounts for 23.65%, and crude fat accounts for 23.65%. It accounts for 0.34, carbohydrates account for 65.71, and crude ash accounts for 10.3 (which contains calcium, phosphorus, and iron). Protein contains a rich and complete range of 21 kinds of amino acids, especially all essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be taken in from the outside, accounting for 42.9% of the total amino acid content. The carbohydrates of the fruiting body of Ulmus elata contain various sugars and a certain amount of vitamins, such as vitamin B, vitamin Bz, vitamin B3, vitamin W and vitamin E. These vitamins can regulate the metabolism of the body. Mineral elements in the crude ash It has high calcium and magnesium content, as well as a certain amount of zinc. In short, elm fungus is rich in nutrients. Regular consumption of this fungus can enhance physical fitness and can be used as a health food.

Shape characteristics

Ulmus elata is also called flesh-colored Myxobacteria, which belongs to Basidiomycotina, Class Mycomycetes, order Non-Flellomycetes, Foliaceae, and Mycobacterium Genus, also known as elm mushroom and meat mushroom. The fruiting bodies of Ulmus elata are solitary or imbricate, small or medium in size, stalkless or with very short stalks, gelatinous, soft when fresh, and shrink into cartilage and hard after drying. The cap is nearly spherical in the early stage, gradually flattens out, and is semicircular, shell-shaped, fan-shaped or disc-shaped, with involute edges, 2 to 13 cm in diameter and 3 to 10 mm thick. The surface is white, beige or orange, and is soft. And thick villi, densely covered with small warts. The fungus flesh is pink to light brown, translucent to almost gelatinous. The seeds are pink or light brown in color, with radiating and tortuous ribs, and appear to be powdery on the surface. The spores are colorless, ovate to elliptical.

Basic source of the medicinal material: It is the fruiting body of the fungus Dermatophyton of the family Geranium. Latin plant, animal and mineral name: Gloeostereum incarnatum Imai

The fruiting body is flat or spherical at first, and after unfolding, it becomes kidney-shaped, ear-shaped or military fan-shaped. Sessile, often stacked together, gummy when fresh, hard and brittle after drying, up to 15 (30) cm in diameter and 3 cm thick. The edges are involute and sometimes wavy; the surface of the cap is covered with a dense layer of villi, about 1mm thick, which is white, milky white, apricot to orange-red. The villi on the edges are short and sparse, light in color, and the surface is off-white to light yellow when dry. The lower surface (seed surface) is milky white to light orange-red, with small warts; the small warts are arranged radially, with a diameter of (1-3) mm × 1 mm. The fungus flesh is thick, light orange-red, and gelatinous. The cystic body is cylindrical or abdominally drum-shaped in the middle, (100-130)μm×(5-7-10)μm. The spores are oval to sausage-shaped, smooth, colorless, (2.5-3)μm×(6-6.5)μm.

Ecological environment: Born on the dead trunks or cutting piles of elm and spring elm. Resource distribution: distributed in Northeast China, Shandong, Gansu and other places.
