Methods and skills of drying bamboo fungus

Bamboo fungus is a fungus that grows in the mountains. After people collect it, they can only extend its shelf life by dehydrating it and processing it into dry goods. Drying is a common method for people to process bamboo fungus, but it is necessary to pay attention to methods and techniques when drying bamboo fungus, otherwise the quality of the processed dry goods will be poor, which will affect the appearance and taste. The following is a detailed introduction to the methods and techniques of drying bamboo fungus, which you can refer to.

Methods and techniques for drying bamboo fungus

1. Bamboo fungus is a substance that easily absorbs odors, so when you dry bamboo fungus, you cannot use coal or charcoal to bake it directly. The best choice is to dry it in a flue-type drying room.

2. A blower should be installed in a special drying room, which will help dehumidify the drying room and remove odors from the air, and will prevent the bamboo fungus from inhaling too much odor during the drying process.

3. Before putting the bamboo fungus into the drying room for drying, you need to preheat the drying room first. It is best if the temperature can reach about 50 degrees. Then, when the humidity in the air is relatively low, you can put the bamboo fungus in.

4. After putting the bamboo fungus in, raise the temperature in the drying room to about 70 degrees and keep it for about two hours. Then lower the temperature to 50 degrees and keep it for another hour. The bamboo fungus is now dried.

5. Take out the dried bamboo fungus in time and disperse and cool it until the temperature drops completely, then it can be graded and stored. The moisture content of the bamboo fungus treated in this way will not exceed 13%, and the storage period can be up to about one year.
