Can the fungus grow on the tree be eaten? Can the fungus growing on the tree be picked and eaten?

1, Auricularia growing on trees is not recommended, because not all Auricularia growing on any trees can be eaten, and some Auricularia growing on toxic and polluted trees cannot be eaten. If trees are poisonous, fungi will be absorbed when they grow, and food poisoning will occur if they continue to eat.

2. It doesn't mean that the fungus growing on any tree can be eaten, just like the fungus growing on some poisonous and polluted trees can't be eaten. If trees are toxic, fungi will also absorb toxins from trees during their growth, such as fungi growing on camphor trees. Can't eat, or food poisoning is likely to happen.

3. So when choosing auricularia auricula, we should also look at the specific tree species. You can't just pick it and eat it, so as not to be harmful to your health. In addition, it should be noted that fresh auricularia auricula just picked is not recommended to eat, because the tannic acid content in it is relatively high, and it tastes bad and will be harmful to the body.
