Jiayin Black Fungus

Jiayin Black Fungus

　　Jiayin black fungus has gelatinous, elastic, and semi-transparent caps. The underside of the caps is slightly gray, and they have excellent water absorption. The fungi are of moderate to large size, with flat, unfolded lobes that are rarely curled. They are highly nutritious.

　　Jiayin is nationally renowned as the hometown of black fungus. Thanks to its temperate continental monsoon climate—with significant day-night temperature variations—the area's unique ecological environment is exceptionally well-suited for black fungus growth. The resulting fungus is of high quality, pollution-free, thick-fleshed, large-lobed, and delicious in taste, making it highly favored by consumers both at home and abroad. The county cultivates around 45 million bags of black fungus annually, producing 1,600–1,800 tons of dried fungus per year.
