Tonghua Black Fungus

　　Black fungus belongs to the Auriculariaceae family and grows on fallen logs and felled tree stumps of broadleaf trees such as oak, linden, and elm.

　　 　　Nutrition: Black fungus is highly nutritious, containing protein, fat, calcium, carbohydrates, phosphorus, iron, carotene, vitamins, vitamin B1, as well as large amounts of fiber, potassium, magnesium, and sodium. Its protein content is comparable to that of meat, while its vitamin B2 content is 4–10 times higher than that of common grains, vegetables like Chinese cabbage, and meat. Its calcium content is 30–70 times higher than that of typical meats.

　　 　　Black fungus has a soft, smooth, and crisp texture, and offers benefits such as clearing and moistening the lungs, boosting qi, and enriching blood. It serves as an excellent health food for workers in mining and textile industries. Modern medicine has proven that the polysaccharides in black fungus can enhance the body’s immunity and help prevent and fight cancer. American scientists have found that black fungus can reduce blood clotting, prevent liver and coronary artery sclerosis, and significantly inhibit the formation of blood clots.

　　 As my home is located in a forested area rich in these local specialties, but distant merchants may not be aware of them, I hope everyone will place orders.
