White fungus

White fungus

　　Also known as tremella. The natural growing conditions of white fungus are similar to those of black fungus, favoring warm, moist, semi-mountainous areas with even rainfall. Its natural yield is low. In 1972, the county widely promoted the technique of cultivating it in greenhouses through mycelium inoculation, greatly expanding the range of suitable environments for white fungus production. It can now be cultivated in both lowland river valleys and high-altitude cold regions, and the variety of host trees has expanded from just oak to over 80 types, including mulberry, willow, paper mulberry, poplar, and maple. Production has steadily increased. (Baokang)
