Market price of hericium Erinaceus

The price of fresh hericium Erinaceus is not very expensive, and it is sold on the market in many places, ranging from 15 to 30 yuan, mostly concentrated in 15 to 20 yuan. The area where fresh hericium Erinaceus is sold is usually close to the producing area of hericium Erinaceus. Dried hericium Erinaceus is more expensive, because of the removal of moisture, it is also convenient to preserve, and it is divided into artificially cultivated and wild hericium Erinaceus. The dry goods of artificially cultivated hericium Erinaceus generally cost about 150 yuan per jin, and the better ones are about 200 yuan per jin. Wild hericium Erinaceus needs three to four hundred jin. But there are also dried monkey mushrooms on the market for about 50 yuan, 60 yuan, and 100 yuan. However, as the saying goes, the quality of goods for every penny is not comparable to that of hericium Erinaceus, which costs two to three hundred yuan per jin.

Selection method of hericium Erinaceus

1. Dry and wet: hericium Erinaceus is white when it is wet, and the golden color seen now is only when it is dried. Good hericium Erinaceus was determined by the first method of Ⅸ H in the appendix of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, and the moisture content should not exceed 13.0%. If you see something very dry, you will lose your hair, and if you buy it back, you will become a bald hericium.

2, quality: because most of the hericium Erinaceus is dried, so in terms of quality, we should choose hericium Erinaceus with uniform head, no moth-eating and no miscellaneous shape. Don't buy those with rotten or moth.

3. Color: the appearance of high-quality hericium Erinaceus is golden yellow, just like the fur of golden monkeys. Sometimes there will be a yellowish white color, because the hyphae of hericium Erinaceus is white. However, some businesses will use iodine sulfate to increase the whitening effect, causing hericium Erinaceus to show abnormal white. This is not only harmful to hericium Erinaceus but also harmful to human body, so try not to buy it.

4, shape: when choosing hericium Erinaceus, the shape is similar to the circle, and the straight meridian is about 4-5cm, no scar is incomplete and the size is uniform. Of course, some hericium Erinaceus on the market are flat and flat in all shapes. Is there no loss of such nutritional value? Just like the bark of a big tree, although it lacks a piece, it still provides nutrition to the branches, but the piece without skin gradually becomes grotesque because the nutrition does not keep up.

5. Hair length: one of the criteria for judging the quality of hericium Erinaceus is to look at the length of hair. High-quality hericium Erinaceus, with complete antler capillaries, is evenly distributed and thickly distributed, because it is the mycelium of hericium Erinaceus, providing nutrients for daily growth.
