This game is known as the first edible fungus only under the chestnut tree, but farmers are afraid of it.

This season is abundant in water, and it is the peak season for the growth of wild bacteria in the mountains. China has a vast territory and abundant resources, and there are great differences in climate between the north and the south, so there are many different wild bacteria growing in the mountains. There are valuable Tricholoma matsutake and boletus in Yunnan, and mushrooms and hazel mushrooms in the north. It is difficult to say which kind of wild bacteria tastes better, because everyone has different preferences. However, it is undeniable that in the season when these wild fungi are produced, it always attracts a large group of farmers to dig in the mountains. Because the wild fungus in season can always be sold at a high price, which is irrefutable. In the north of our country, there is a kind of wild fungus. Although it is ugly, it is very expensive. It is very popular in Japan and South Korea.

This wild fungus only grows under the chestnut tree. People in Hebei call it "chestnut mushroom". Its shape is quite strange, usually a long string, looking like coral, and some people call it "lotus mushroom" and "Thousand Buddha fungus". Although it doesn't look good, it tastes very delicious. Some people describe chestnut mushrooms as chicken-flavored, crisp and with a strange flavor. Chestnut mushroom is not known to everyone in China, but in foreign countries, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other countries, it is a high-end health food, it is said that in the past only the Japanese royal family can eat, ordinary people can not eat.

There are two main reasons why chestnut mushrooms are so popular. The first point is because of its high nutritional value, protein, amino acids, vitamin B, C, carotene, mineral elements are several times that of Lentinus edodes. The reason why Lentinus edodes is compared with Lentinus edodes is that Lentinus edodes is known as "king of mushrooms", and chestnut mushroom has higher nutrition than it, so farmers also call it "the head of edible mushrooms" and "North China ginseng". It is estimated that southerners have rarely seen it, and even fewer people have eaten it.

The second point is that chestnut mushroom has a high health care function, because it is rich in selenium, as well as polysaccharides, with the role of improving human immunity. The extract from chestnut mushroom is considered to have the effect of preventing cancer and benefiting the kidney, so it is sought after in the international market. In northern China, since the 1980s, farmers began to domesticate and grow chestnut mushrooms. High-quality chestnut mushrooms are rare edible fungi in the world, with a price of more than 50 yuan per jin.

However, for farmers who grow chestnut trees, they are very afraid of the emergence of chestnut mushrooms. Because chestnut mushrooms usually grow on the roots of chestnut trees, they absorb nutrients from the roots and eventually cause the core wood of chestnut trees to rot. So no matter how valuable it is, it is hated in the chestnut forest.
