Hello everyone, this is Shen Xiaoyi. Every day, I will share with you at least one cooking technique or experience of visiting the store. If you have a vision, remember to follow me and visit me every day.
Wen∣Luo Xiaoyu
My family is in a small border county in Sichuan, specifically a small village on the edge of the county seat. When I was young, I watched various vegetables and fruits from planting to harvest, and watching chickens, ducks, pigs and cows grow from childhood to adulthood. Groups may be tall and big, but now that I think about it, the most interesting and impressive thing is to pick mushrooms.
Because I watched cartoons when I was young, the little white rabbits used to pick mushrooms on the beautiful roads in the forest. Mushrooms were so dotted under the big trees on both sides of the road, so they walked around and picked them, especially beautiful.
I think mushroom picking is like this.
is actually not. Mushroom picking is usually in spring and summer, and you don’t want to pick it in any forest. We choose green forest, which is a forest full of green trees, where mushrooms can be found. , Which is the fungus in Sichuan dialect.
Also pay attention to the choice of weather. It is best to have just rained and then the weather clears. This time is when the mushrooms are skyrocketing. Only when you can pick fresh mushrooms, you can search all over the mountain and use a wooden stick. Open the way and sweep away the leaves in the forest, because many mushrooms just pushed out the fallen leaves when they first came out, so they happened to be covered by the leaves. This process is very strange and it feels like a treasure hunt.
I still remember clearly that there are many kinds of wild mushrooms, one with reddish surface called Rhododendron, another kind of grayish green called Mung bean, and the whole black one called Charcoal, and white one called Lime... Mushrooms also depend on luck. Sometimes a few friends go up the mountain together. I have not walked through them, but they can be picked after he walks behind. The growth of mushrooms is simply incredible.
Rhododendron
, but because they don’t know the safety of wild mushrooms, parents only allow our sisters to go up the mountain to pick them, and they are not allowed to eat them. So every time we pick them back, we throw them away because there are too many things poisoned by eating wild mushrooms every year. I also don’t recommend eating wild mushrooms. According to data query, there are more than 1,000 kinds of mushrooms in China, among which more than 400 are poisonous, and there are more than 40 kinds of poisonous and lethal dangers. Some of them look too alike and are difficult to pass. When judging whether it is poisonous or not, villagers don’t buy dried ones, and they can’t judge whether they are dried.
is precisely because of this, and mushrooms are vegetables with very high protein content. Chinese medicine also has records: mushrooms are sweet and flat, can digest, calm the nerves, antibacterial, lower blood sugar, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, etc., so the cultivation of edible fungi , Naturally became a matter of natural development and rapid results.
As early as a thousand years ago, the ancients recorded the method of growing mushrooms. "Mushrooms are born in the soil, rustic and harmonious but grasses are born", "Ganoderma lucidum is like growing beans" .
In the Three Kingdoms period, it reached a level of vigor, and there is ample evidence that China was the first country to discover and grow shiitake mushrooms. Chen Renyu wrote a book specifically on how to cultivate mushrooms called "Bacteria Species". Z4z

Yuanren's "Book of Wang Zhennong" also records the artificial cultivation method of shiitake mushrooms, which is the famous cut flower method to grow shiitake mushrooms. This method is still in use today.

It can be seen that a small mushroom carries people's wisdom and expectations for good food. Today, the cultivation of edible fungi has reached a mature stage. The types of mushrooms available on the market are also numerous and complicated. If you are interested, you can grow your own. You can buy many strains and tutorials on shopping websites. Food blogger Plum Qi once recorded in the video that he planted mycelium on trees and harvested mushrooms.

However, I think we only eat so much every meal. It is not necessary to grow our own, but how to choose, how to buy, and how to eat must be mastered. Next, I will introduce the characteristics and eating methods of common edible fungi on the market.
shiitake mushrooms
shiitake mushrooms
are the second largest mushrooms in the world. They have a long history of artificial cultivation and are easy to identify. The whole shiitake mushrooms are round and the cap is light brown. The handle is short and the fleshy head is thick, so it can be cut into complete slices. z4When buying shiitake mushrooms at z
, it is recommended to choose those with a round shape and no damage, which will be more fresh and tender. If the shiitake mushrooms are older, the surface will crack and the taste is not soft and delicate. There are many ways to make
shiitake mushrooms. You can basically use them at will. Stir-fried meat, stewed chicken soup, and stir-fry are all possible. They have a unique fragrance. Among them, there is a famous dish called mushrooms and rape. I believe everyone has done it.
shiitake mushrooms and rapeseed
shiitake mushrooms and rapeseed practices:
1, shiitake mushrooms and small rapeseed are washed, shiitake mushrooms are sliced, small rapeseed is divided into small pieces;
2, put the oil in the pot and heat, if the ginger and garlic slices are fried, add the shiitake mushrooms and stir fry, then Add the rapeseed and continue to stir fry, and finally add light soy sauce, chicken essence, and salt to taste. In addition to fresh
shiitake mushrooms, dried shiitake mushrooms are often sold. Soak them first when you buy them. Other methods are similar. Some people like dried shiitake mushrooms because they have a stronger flavor.
Pleurotus ostreatus
Pleurotus ostreatus
Pleurotus ostreatus should be a very common type of mushroom in the vegetable market, usually in clusters, each cluster has many Pleurotus ostreatus, the whole body is light gray, and the color near the stalk is whiter. The cap is relatively flat, maybe that's how the name Pleurotus ostreatus came from.
I think the taste of oyster mushrooms is not as strong as that of shiitake mushrooms, and they also have a light fragrance. The methods are also varied. The common ones are fried meat, broth, and deep-frying. I think deep-frying is an interesting method.

Pleurotus eryngii
Pleurotus eryngii
Pleurotus eryngii is probably the largest single mushroom in the vegetable market, because it has the smell of almonds and has a smooth texture like abalone, so it got the name. The stalk of Pleurotus eryngii is thick and long, and the cap is small, almost the same as the diameter of the stalk, and some are even integrated into a cylinder. The stalk is white and the upper cap is light brown.

Flammulina velutipes
Strictly speaking, in addition to Flammulina velutipes, there is also Flammulina velutipes. The difference is the color. Flammulina velutipes is light yellow and cylindracea is white. However, there is usually no detailed distinction between them, and they are collectively called Flammulina. The stalk of
Flammulina velutipes is thin and long. The middle is hollow, the cap is small, and the surface is slippery, which seems to have a slimy feeling.
Enoki mushrooms can be eaten in many ways. They can be blanched and served cold, fried in egg batter, hot pot, or steamed. The only drawback is that it is strong, not easy to bite, and easy to get stuck in the teeth.
Here is a delicacy made with enoki mushrooms- chopped pepper chicken wings and steamed enoki mushroom .

The difference is that the whole body is white. mouthThe texture of mushrooms is very similar to that of shiitake mushrooms. The texture is dense and thick, which can be sliced and fried.
I usually use mushrooms, mainly when frying steak, as a side dish.

With broccoli, asparagus, small tomatoes, etc., the steak looks a few higher grades, which is beautiful and delicious.
Of course, what I just introduced is just the most common ones, which can be bought in every vegetable market. In addition, there are seafood mushrooms, crab-flavored mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, white jade mushrooms, etc. The way to eat them is similar. Meat, stir-fry, make soup...you can use your own cooking skills. But in general, mushrooms are not recommended to be eaten raw. Although they are not as poisonous as wild mushrooms, they are not as delicious as cooked food.

Tremella, also called white fungus, is a large flower, mainly used for stewing soup. In ancient times, Tremella Soup was a tonic. It was more expensive than bird’s nests. Tremella was more cost-effective than bird’s nests, so Tremella was also called "the poor's bird's nest."
The quality of the white fungus soup stewed by good white fungus is sticky and soft, which is related to the selection of white fungus. A good white fungus is naturally white or beige, with yellow-brown roots and no mildew or moth-eaten on the surface. Complete and shiny. But fungus is not as white as possible. The white fungus is smoked with sulfur and cannot be bought. At the same time, pay attention to smell, good white fungus has no peculiar smell.
