Why are thousands of dollars a catty of Phellinus linteus on mulberry trees rarely sold? Can you talk about it?

Golden ears cost several thousand yuan a catty. Why is Ganoderma rarely sold? When it comes to Phellinus igniarius, you may not know many people, but when it comes to Mulberry, I think the friends in the south should be familiar with this. Mulberry is a widely planted crop in southern China. Mulberry leaves can be picked for sericulture. Mulberry can not only be eaten raw, but also be used to make wine. Therefore, in addition to planting rice and sugarcane in the southern region, mulberry is also the first choice for people. I have to say that Mulberry is full of treasures, but what is precious is not the sweetness of Mulberry fruit, but the Phellinus linteus inherited from him.

Phellinus linteus, commonly known as Auricularia auricula, is a subordinate fungus of Phellinus linteus, which is called tree chicken, Phellinus linteus and Wusunyan by the people. Phellinus igniarius looks like Ganoderma lucidum, so many people will mistake it for Ganoderma lucidum, but in fact, the two are far from each other. Ganoderma lucidum is a fungus belonging to Ganoderma genus of Ganoderma family. If there is any relationship between the two, they may all be fungi. Maybe thousands of years ago, they were one. Ducks are not now. Phellinus igniarius and Ganoderma lucidum are two different fungi, but it is worth mentioning that Phellinus igniarius is as rare as Ganoderma lucidum and has high medicinal value. What's the use of Phellinus linteus? Why do you seldom see him in the market?

In fact, this is because there are fewer people selling Phellinus igniarius. Phellinus igniarius is not an easily available fungus. They are very strict with the environment. Wild old mulberry trees, humid environment, clean air and cool climate are indispensable. Of course, Phellinus igniarius will not only be in mulberries. Parasitic on pine trees, he will also be parasitic on pine trees, poplars, willows, birch trees, etc., but when it comes to quality, of course, Phellinus linteus parasitic on mulberry trees has the best quality. I have to say that many people didn't know Phellinus igniarius at first. Many villagers regard it as an ordinary mushroom and fungus, and some even think that mulberry will grow when it is sick, so people don't care much. Growers are more concerned about whether mulberry leaves are tender enough and whether mulberry trees are sweet enough. Later, when people woke up and prepared to pick a lot of Phellinus linteus, they found that there were fewer and fewer Phellinus linteus when they entered the mountain, and they might not be able to find it once after rummaging through a mountain. The environment has changed, global warming is coming quietly, people's homes are getting bigger and bigger, and virgin forests are getting smaller and smaller. Phellinus igniarius is a fragile fungus. Without the nourishment of the environment, it will soon wither.
