Why are dried red mushrooms in Fujian so expensive?

Because red mushrooms cannot be artificially bred, the purchase price of real wild red mushrooms is more than 1,500 yuan per pound, and many dyed red mushrooms are sold for 600-700 yuan or more.

Because red mushrooms cannot be cultivated artificially so far, they need the roots of some special tree species in the forest to grow. Russulas are grown in many places in my country, such as Zhejiang, Yunnan, Guangxi, Ganzhou in Jiangxi, Sanming and Nanping in Fujian, Funiu Mountain in Henan, etc. There are mountains and forests in some places. Russulas will grow only in places with good natural environment. The red mushrooms from Fujian are the best in the country, and the red mushrooms from Sanming in Fujian are the best. Because the forest coverage rate in Sanming exceeds that in Europe, some Russula rasula in other areas taste a bit scummy, and some are slightly bitter and astringent.

I have eaten the red mushrooms from Sanming, and they are indeed very, very good. The red mushrooms are fresh and crisp, not bitter or astringent. The soup is red and naturally sweet. Two or three of them in a big bowl of soup are very good. Delicious. Sanming’s lotus seeds are also very good. In ancient times, Sanming’s Jianning white lotus was a tribute, commonly known as tribute lotus. I asked the locals to help me buy some for myself, but the local prices were already very expensive. Authentic Sanming red mushrooms cost about 700, 800 to more than 1,000 yuan per pound depending on their appearance and grade. Authentic Jianlian costs hundreds of pounds per pound. Most of the red mushrooms seen on the market are from Zhejiang, Yunnan, and Jiangxi. The price is several times cheaper than the red mushrooms from Fujian. The price of Fujian red mushrooms is about 7 to 8 times that of red mushrooms from other regions (normal price) . Therefore, when buying red mushrooms, you must ask someone who knows how to read them to help you buy, otherwise more than 90% of them will be bought as fakes or shoddy goods.

As for the nutritional value, you can search it on Baidu, thank you! ! Hope to adopt! !

I answer this question as I grew up eating red mushrooms

I am from Changting County, Fujian Province. Almost all the people who grew up in our village have picked red mushrooms. People who have picked it say that the price of 800-1500 is not expensive at all. Why? Many people may say that you just have to be diligent to go up the mountain to pick wild ones. You must be diligent, but it is useless to work hard to climb the mountain. Russula has very high requirements on the soil and can only grow in specific places and under specific trees. When they grow, if no one takes them, I will tell you that there are some in that mountain and you won’t be able to pick a few of them. Even if someone takes them, it’s useless if you can’t tell the real ones from the fake ones. You have to throw them away when you take them home, so I often pick them. To the russula pseudorussula. It’s really hard to recognize even if you’re not an experienced person. One of the three mushrooms may be fake. You have to be very careful to identify them. Some red mushrooms are reddish and not poisonous at all. However, they taste bad after being eaten and have no effect if used as medicine. , so it is difficult to pick~

In addition, there is no control over the wild ones and everyone can pick them. We often set out with flashlights in the middle of the night, and the picking competition is fierce

Based on these reasons, we often go to a The trip is less than a day's wages, so 800-1,500 is not expensive at all, and we usually don't sell it to keep for ourselves. In fact, the main thing to eat when eating red mushrooms is to drink the soup, which is really sweet and delicious. I really don’t like to eat dried red mushrooms. Only the freshly picked ones are fresh and delicious. Do you have any from Longyan? Are red mushrooms delicious? Welcome to leave a message for discussion

I am in Yanping District, Nanping, Fujian. Before and for decades after liberation, my grandfather made a living by picking red mushrooms. Because of the diversity of organisms, there are countless varieties of red mushrooms. The best variety is called "Sugar Mushroom". "Sugar Mushroom" contains very high sugar content. I am not a researcher of biology, so I don't know what kind of "sugar" ingredient it is. I guess it is not just sugar. Sugar, maybe a kind of "russula polysaccharide". I hope biologists will do more research on it. It will definitely be beneficial to health, and maybe it can also extend life! After this kind of red mushroom is dried, white sugar crystal powder will appear on the surface of the mushroom. People who don’t know it may think that mold has grown. The surface of the “sugar mushroom” is particularly thick and bright red, and the inner surface of the mushroom is bright red. Blue-grey in color, the mushroom legs are also particularly thick. Whether dried or freshly picked, "sugar mushrooms" are used in stews (such as stewed chicken or stewed pig's feet), and their sweet and fragrant taste is incredible! Unfortunately, the broad-leaved forests in Yanping District have now turned into coniferous forests (cedar forests), and "sugar mushrooms" have become very scarce. You can't find "sugar mushrooms" in major supermarkets. It's a pity
