Chapter Ninety-Nine: What About the Fungus (3)

"Really, this chicken fir fungus is really amazing, have you ever observed the appearance of the chicken fir hole?" Su Min's interest was completely aroused by a few of them.

Qi Jingtao took Shi Lei's words and said with a smile: "Hehe, why haven't I seen it, I have seen a lot of broken chicken fir holes, some of which are as big as a few buffalo bodies, and the chicken fir rice inside is like a stalactite in the cave reaching the top of the cave, and the rhizome of the chicken fir is directly rooted in the chicken fir rice."

As soon as the rain penetrated, the yellow ants climbed out of the chicken fir hole, spread their wings one after another, and flew like the sky. These gods who created the elven chicken fir worked hard in the dark underground for a year, and finally planted and bred the exquisite chicken fir - the elves of the rainy season, and they were done, and they bathed in the rain baptism to the fullest, and then died tragically.

Seeing this scene, I was shocked, shocked, sympathized with them for their lives, and sometimes even felt that they should not eat chicken fir, which is the lifework of them, millions of yellow ants!"

Su Min was stunned by the scene described by Qi Jingtao, looked at him and asked, "Ah Tao, is this chicken fir an animal or a plant!"

"According to the classification of modern species, it belongs to the class of fungi. There are four kinds of chicken fir fir, such as one-legged chicken fir fir , torch chicken fir fir , dew chicken fir and matsutake mushroom.

Matsutake mushrooms are actually a type of chicken fir mushroom. It's just that the mushroom cap of matsutake mushroom is not like a small umbrella, but a basin, and the meat is not pure white, commonly known as pheasant fir. However, it does not have the yellow ants that are characteristic of the chicken fir, and many people believe that it does not belong to the chicken fir.

Dew chicken fir is the chicken fir that is opened in the morning dew, the fungus cap is very thin, like dew, easy to wilt and dry up, so it is named dew chicken fir.

It is common to say that the chicken fir that is often eaten is the one-legged chicken fir and the torch chicken fir.

One-legged chicken fir is a nest of chicken fir that only produces one flower, I just bought it back a few days ago, hehe, you cook soup and eat it. The one-legged chicken fir is quite strong, so it is also called the barbarian chicken fir. Most of the chicken fir that came out earlier from the Torch Festival (June 24 of the lunar calendar, the traditional festival of the Yi nationality) are one-legged chicken firs.

The one-legged chicken fir is fat and has a unique taste, and a litter of yellow ants only cultivates such a chicken fir. Some particularly fat one-legged chicken fir roots, its roots can be as thick as an arm, one foot as high, and the chicken fir hat can be as big as a hat after opening, just like a silver-gray or gray-black hat, or like a small umbrella, some have not yet been opened, and some have been opened.

The chicken fir that comes out before and after the torch festival is called the torch chicken fir, and the torch chicken fir is a large piece as soon as it comes out, like a small silver-gray torch, burning all over a mountain depression or hillside, it is called the torch chicken fir in the image, and we also have a name in Yunnan, placing a rain hat. ”

"So, are there any special requirements for the place where the chicken fir grows?" Su Min asked curiously.

When Shi Lei heard this, he also said: "Cousin-in-law, there are no special requirements for the place where the chicken fir grows, and the yellow ants will build nests wherever they fly." Hehe, there is a nest of chicken fir in front of my yard for a few years, and this year, the rainy season will emerge every year.

Picking chicken fir is particular, as long as there is a chicken fir nest, not being excavated and trampled through the hole, she will emerge there every year, and according to the lunar calendar, the same nest of chicken fir is about the same date unearthed every year, and the gap is one or two days.

Hehe, like the nest of chicken fir outside my yard. The first year was on the fifth day of the sixth lunar month, and this year it is basically on those days.

There are also a few unearthed in a nest, but most of them are quite strong. If this year's harvest is a hillside scattered with torch fir, on the same day next year, there will still be a large piece of torch fir, and you must carry a large flower basket on your back when you go out. ”

"Hahaha...... According to what you say, the growth of wild mushrooms is very regional and seasonal, and the regularity is very strong, especially the varieties of chicken fir mushrooms you mentioned. Can you draw a map and make a time comparison table when you pick mushrooms, as long as you pick them according to the time? I found that the growth time of the chicken fir you said is more accurate than the time of artificial planting!"

Su Min said with a smile. This woman's head is different, I don't know what I'm thinking, and the advice she gives is quite scientific.

"Hahaha, don't say it, it's a good idea. Wild mushrooms are born and grown in the mountains, and anyone can pick them up, and whoever finds them will take them. Many people pick up mushrooms every time they go up the mountain to pick up mushrooms, and the old and young are swept away without leaving them, which is also an unreasonable waste of resources for wild mushroom resources.

Today, the little girl picked those spicy mushrooms that were tender and big, because those spicy mushrooms came out near the orchard contracted by their family, and others did not go there to find them. When she found out last week, she felt that she was too young to pick it, so she could wait until yesterday to pick it.

If someone contracts a piece of mountain forest, he doesn't have to worry about others picking it up, so he can plan to pick up the wild mushrooms in that mountain forest. Just like what my cousin just said, draw a map of the distribution and growth of wild mushrooms. Patrolling the mountains and forests every day, picking only the most suitable mushrooms for food, and keeping those that are too tender and too small at the right time, can not only increase the production of wild mushrooms in the mountains and forests, but also increase income. Shi Lei was very interested in Su Min's words.

"Hehe, when you have time, you can talk to the cadres of those mountain villages that you often go to, maybe it is really a good way to manage the mountains and forests. Zhang Jinglei suggested with a smile and made a note in her notebook.

"How many ways are there to eat this wild mushroom? Su Min didn't think deeply about her suggestion, she now has a lot of wild mushrooms in her hands, and all she thinks about is eating.

Shi Lei smiled and said: "Hehe, when it comes to eating mushrooms, there are too many ways to eat them." Different mushrooms have different ways to eat. Let's talk about the miscellaneous mushrooms that we often sell. Miscellaneous mushrooms are generally fried and eaten, to be cut into thin slices, you can fry dried chilies, you can also fry green chilies, you can also fry pickles. But you have to enlarge the garlic to make condiments, how much at will. Mushrooms are few and absorb oil, and often eat mushrooms, which is easy to reduce blood lipids and middle qi, which has both advantages and disadvantages. When stir-frying, add more sesame oil. ”

"I know all of this, that's how I fry miscellaneous mushrooms at home. You don't need to introduce the stones. Tell me about the spicy mushrooms, the chili mushrooms bought back on the street are too finely crushed, no matter how you choose to wash them, you can't completely wash the remaining fine sand in the mushrooms, and there is always a bit of a tooth and mud smell, is there any good way?" Su Min asked about the troubles he had encountered in dealing with spicy mushrooms before.

"Hahaha...... When people in the city come to buy spicy mushrooms, they often say, 'Dry mushrooms (spicy mushrooms, also known as horse tooth mushrooms) are dry and fragrant, but they are a little bit toothy'. Our salesperson told them to rub flour when washing, and there would be no sand after the water passed. Cousin, try it later. ”

Qi Jingtao smiled, "Hahaha...... The mushrooms are delicious, and more people need to know those varied and safe ways to eat. Stone, you have done a very good job, collect and summarize some common knowledge about mushrooms, and then you can make a booklet in the future, and you can send some out when you sell it. ……”
