The efficacy and function of bamboo mushrooms. The steps of making bamboo mushrooms

Bamboo mushroom is a fungus that grows on bamboo roots. It is also known as bamboo meat and bamboo rubbing. It is described in the Compendium of Materia Medica, Vegetables, and Part Five: "It grows on the nodes of rotten bamboo roots, looks like wood ear, is red, as big as a bullet, and tastes like white tree chicken." Bamboo meat is especially delicious when used to make soup, because it has its own freshness, so it can make people salivate and feel greedy even from the other side of the yard. In addition, there is a poem preface to "Clove Knot·Ode to Bamboo Ru" by Chen Weisong of the Qing Dynasty, which writes about bamboo mushrooms, which reads: "Bamboo mushrooms are mushrooms between bamboos, as small as coins, and as yellow as grease. They grow in clusters after rain, and are lovely. They are only found in Yangxian Mountain, and not found elsewhere." The poem "Chrysanthemum, Crab, and Bamboo Mushroom" by Cao Yin of the Qing Dynasty: "The bamboo mushrooms are round and even, and they are tied up like Han and Peng for a new generation." Please refer to "Bamboo Meat".
