Tremella fuciformis in China is mainly produced in two places, Fujian Tremella fuciformis and Tongjiang Tremella fuciformis. According to production conditions, it is divided into wild and bag cultivation, and the cultivation method is further divided into natural wild and artificial imitation wild cultivation.

Tremella fuciformis in Fujian is generally cultivated in factory bags, with large production capacity and low price. The sales volume is large, the shape is round, and the fruiting body is tight, which is related to the environment in which it grows. The color is yellow. Most of them are soaked in water and the water turns yellow. The quality is average. The roots of Tremella fuciformis are large and hard, so be careful when eating them. If removed, the foaming rate will be as low as about ten yuan to forty yuan per pound.

Tongjiang Tremella is imitated by wild cultivation, which is the so-called wild Tremella and bag cultivation on the Internet. The production capacity of wild Tremella is small. Generally, it takes several kilograms of wild basswood to produce several kilograms of Tremella, and the price is higher than that of ordinary Tremella. It is about ten times more expensive, and the current wholesale price in the market is about 300 per catty. The production capacity is small, and Tongjiang Tremella bag material is cultivated almost entirely artificially. The color is more normal than Fujian Tremella, which is natural white and slightly yellowish. The fruiting bodies are loose because most of them imitate wild ones. High foaming rate. After soaking, the water will still have its original natural color.

Note: There is no real wild Tremella fungus available for purchase. First, because Tremella fuciformis is a kind of fungus. The fungus’s pathogenicity is easily affected by the external environment, especially other bacteria, so wild ones are generally It is difficult to grow, and because of its characteristics, wild ones cannot be eaten. According to research, there was a history of artificial cultivation of Tremella in the Qing Dynasty. Empress Dowager Cixi often ate Tongjiang Tremella, so it is incorrect to say that it is wild.

Tremella brands: There are many brands of Tremella in Gutian, such as Guan Er and Chou Er, and the quality varies from good to bad. There are only two companies that have actually registered Tongjiang Tremella and have the right to use the origin trademark, Xuehua and Shanbawang.
