Speaking of dried bacillus, the first thing to say is its shape, and the general mushroom is very different, there is no cap and the stalk of the fungus, the presentation of gray, black and white, and dried bacillus will not produce maggots, other mushrooms will be picked up and placed for a period of time will be maggots, is a kind of larvae similar to fruit flies, but dried bacillus will not, wrapped with pumpkin leaves, will be more and more white.
Wild dried mushrooms in the mountains
Mushrooms with similar appearances to dried bacillus are probably only broomstick fungi, but the two are very different in color and taste, and broom fungi are not valuable, and the locals in Yunnan will never mistake the two.

Another feature of dried bacillus is that it is expensive, contrary to other mushrooms, the smaller and more tender other mushrooms, the more valuable the fungus lid is not opened, and the dried bacillus is larger and more valuable, and the good quality of thousands of dollars a kilogram is not excessive, and very popular.
In addition to the dry bacillus in the contracted mountain forest slowly raised, it is relatively easy to grow, in the mountain forest with many people is not easy to grow too big, because the dried bacillus bacteria nest often go up the mountain people know that when they are very small, they will be found, picked up or destroyed, so to a certain extent, it is very rare to see the fist-sized dried bacillus, and the dry bacillus with a large bowl mouth or a large plate is already the top product of the dried bacillus.
Small bowls with large mouths of dried bacillus
I've heard that someone has picked up dried mushrooms the size of a sieve, but I've never seen them in reality, but I just listened to them as an odd news.
In the process of dry bacillus growth, some dead branches and leaves, sand will be attached or even deeply embedded in the dried bacillus body, most of them in their roots, in the process of picking up is more difficult to clean up, so in order to remove these impurities, dried bacillus needs to be torn into a small piece of cleanup, the larger the dried bacillus, the easier it is to clean up, and the smaller the dried bacillus is not easy to tear into small pieces, it is difficult to clean, in folklore there is a method in the cleaning method: the dried bacillus that is torn into small pieces, soaked and kneaded with wheat flour After a few times of going back and forth, you can clean up, but in fact, it is also a psychological comfort, I have tried to wash it with this method, embedded in too deep small gravel or other impurities, and can not be cleaned up by this method.
Wash dry bacillus
The common practice of dried bacillus is to fry and eat, I have never seen it boiled to eat, first put the washed dried bacillus aside, put the oil in the pot, put in the garlic in turn, cut the green pepper, and then put in the dried bacillus, stir-fry to start the pot, fresh and fragrant, eat in the mouth is very chewy, that is, the strength of the dried bacillus is very good, the taste is very good.
Sautéed dried bacillus
For people who go up the mountain to pick up mushrooms are not specifically rushing to dry bacillus, from the mushroom market in June to October the mushroom gradually disappeared, can pick up a fist of dried bacillus is a fluke, to a certain extent, dried bacillus is indeed very rare, for the dry bacillus that appears on the market, many are wild mushroom dealers here to collect a little, there to collect a little, hoarded up, of course, this is for most of the case, just mentioned the special pick up dried bacillus people, they are lucky or dry bacillus more time, There will be a lot of dried bacillus that can be picked up, but compared with other mushrooms, it will still appear relatively rare, so it is more expensive.
Dried bacillus
Buy dried bacillus must pay attention to see if dried bacillus is a flower of its own, some wild mushroom dealers in order to dry bacillus can sell the price, will stick some small dried bacillus on a relatively large dried bacillus, if you buy such a dried bacillus, you can only think that you are unlucky, the reason is that I mentioned above, the smaller the dried bacillus, the less difficult it is to clean.
In my experience, dried bacillus is non-toxic and can generally be eaten raw, but this way of eating is very rare, I have not seen it in restaurants or daily life, but it is no problem to pick it up on the mountain and tear off a few pieces to taste it.
