When talking about white fungus, one naturally thinks of black fungus.

Black fungus, a unique type of fungus, has a distinctive shape!

It seems as if they were born to belong to nature.

Its shape resembles a light, thin leaf, with a slight bulge in the center, like a delicate umbrella-shaped structure. Its color is deep, between dark brown and jet black, warm to the touch, soft and elastic, giving a sense of vibrant life.

There's a sense of vitality in it.

Turn the black fungus over to reveal its grayish-white or light yellow underside, covered with a layer of short, fine hairs.

These fine hairs bear witness to its growth process and are a crucial part of its life.

In the wilderness, black fungus prefers warm, humid, and damp environments, which are its habitats.

Black fungus often quietly attaches itself to that... life force gradually disappearing, that is, the decaying trunk of a broad-leaved tree that is gradually withering away with the passage of time, or between the dry branches of an ancient tree.

Its growth and reproduction are not picky about the environment and it does not have too many requirements. It can adapt to a variety of soil and climate conditions, so it can be found in many places in my country, from the lush forests in the north to the vast fields in the south.

In the kitchen, filled with the aroma of cooking, black fungus, a seemingly ordinary ingredient, possesses endless possibilities and versatility.

Whether cut into thin, shredded pieces or carved into paper-thin slices, black fungus can be perfectly paired with all kinds of meats and vegetables, creating a rich and delightful flavor that is like a match made in heaven.

When black fungus is tossed into the swirling motions of a wok, a delicious and culinary delight unfolds. When stir-fried, the unique smooth texture of black fungus blends perfectly with tender, juicy meat, creating a flavorful and timeless dish – black fungus stir-fried with meat. And when it's combined with tempting golden eggs, it transforms into a flavorful and visually appealing home-style stir-fry, making it utterly mouthwatering.

In the hot summer, you can process the black fungus slightly and put it in ice cubes. After it becomes cool and refreshing, mix it with seasonings to make a refreshing and appetizing cold dish.

It's both refreshing and appetizing!

Awesome.

Besides its other benefits, black fungus has another wonderful use – it can be used as an ingredient in soups. It can transform bland and tasteless broths into rich and flavorful ones, as if it has been given a magical makeover.

Especially in the cold winter, a bowl of steaming black fungus and chicken soup can not only warm the body and mind, but also provide endless warmth and nourishment.

It makes you feel warm and cozy from the inside out!
