1. What kind of fungus is good fungus?

1. Color: good wood ear is black and translucent, and the quilt surface looks like a layer of white frost. If it looks darker and unclear, it is fake.

2. Size. Generally speaking, smaller and more uniform ones are better.

3. Thickness. The fungus in autumn is thicker, while that in spring is thinner. Now everyone prefers the autumn ones. In fact, the taste and ingredients of the autumn ones are better.

4. Now we are going to take action. Take a bowl, a handful of black fungus, and a pot of boiling water. Put the black fungus in the bowl and pour boiling water. If the water is still not turbid, it means that our black fungus is not fake. If it is turbid, we have to taste the water. If it is salty, it means salt is added. If it is sweet, it means sugar is added. If it is astringent, it is even worse, that is, chemical raw materials are added. If we buy black fungus in the above three situations, it means that we have been cheated and the merchant has increased the weight of the black fungus.

5. If there are no other problems with the water, we have to wait for 4 hours. Generally, the fungus will expand eight to ten times. After foaming, it will be bright, even, thick and chewy. Such fungus must taste very good and is very nutritious.

2. How to distinguish genuine and fake fungus

1. High-quality black fungus is black and shiny, light in size, large in flower, tender in quality, dry and thick in flesh, free of impurities and debris, free of mold and rot, and without any wood on the stem.

2. High-quality black fungus has a curled and tightened surface, thin leaves and no complete outline. It is black and glossy, with uniform color and one side appearing gray.

3. High-quality black fungus will feel dry and not granular when touched by hand. There is no peculiar smell when you try it with your mouth, and it has a rich and fresh taste after chewing it in your mouth.

4. High-quality dried black fungus has a hard and tough texture. It is not easy to crush with fingers or bite off with teeth.

5. To identify adulterated black fungus, taste it to see if it tastes sweet or salty. Weigh the black fungus with your hand.

6. The main methods of adulterating black fungus are to soak it in brown sugar and salt water, or to attach sand to it while it is still wet to increase its weight.

7. Black fungus becomes very fragile after being adulterated; it breaks easily with a slight bend and becomes soft quickly when put into the mouth.

8. If the black fungus is adulterated, it will look swollen and the flower will appear thick; the edges will be relatively complete and rarely curled; and the ear pieces will stick together.

3. Notes

Take the black fungus in your hand and squeeze it slightly. If there is adulteration left on your hand, don't buy it. Smell it with your nose and don’t buy it if it has a strange smell.
