It only appears after rain, looks like a broom, and sells for more than meat, yet hardly anyone has eaten it

China has a large area of mountain forest regions, and in these regions all kinds of fungi always appear after summer rain. Some of them may be poisonous, and people should not pick or eat those, while others can be picked and eaten. Even now, in the crisp autumn season, after a rain, if you go up the mountain to forage, you can still harvest some fungi. Today I will introduce one kind of fungus to everyone.

It has a strange name, called broom fungus, because its shape looks very much like a broom. Broom fungus is also a kind of wild fungus that appears after summer rain. Broom fungus differs from other fungi in both shape and taste, letting you eat a fungus with a different texture. Every summer after it rains, my mother would go up the mountain to pick fungi. I remember as a child going up the mountain with my mother to pick fungi, and my mother could always easily judge whether a fungus was poisonous and whether we could pick it. If she could pick broom fungus, my mother would always be very happy, saying the trip had not been wasted. Broom fungus looks very glossy, and its nutritional value is also very rich, which ordinary fungi cannot match.

Broom fungus must be washed well before eating, because there may be sand and mud in the crevices of the broom fungus, so be sure to wash the broom fungus clean. Then you can use broom fungus to make soup or simply stir-fry it. No matter how broom fungus is cooked, in the end it tastes of the fresh flavor of fungi when it enters your mouth, and it is truly delicious. Broom fungus is not only tasty, but also very rich in protein and amino acids, which are very beneficial to the human body, so the price of broom fungus is also very high, more than 30 yuan per jin, even more expensive than ordinary pork. Not only that, broom fungus also has medicinal value, having an effect of relieving the condition of some stomach ailments, which is why people like to eat broom fungus.

This broom fungus, which only appears after rain, is more expensive than meat, but its nutritional value and medicinal value are obvious to all. Although broom fungus does not look like much, eating it can have the effect of nourishing the body, and in today's health-conscious times, broom fungus has become a delicacy people like to put on the table. Most broom fungus now is artificially cultivated, mainly sold to Guangzhou, Hong Kong, China and other places. It is more common in the south, and not many people in the north have eaten it. Have you ever eaten it?
