A large number of wild black truffles were recently found on the mountain in Yingluo Town, Haicheng, Liaoning Province, and a large number of people went up the mountain to dig, and it is said that one person can dig 20 to 30 kilograms a day. The local purchase price of one kilogram is 300 yuan, and a person can dig more than 3,000 to 4,000 yuan a day. At the foot of the mountain, on the side of the simple road, the cars that heard the news rushed to the road for a long time.
However, the mountain has become potholed because of the digging of black truffles, and the local government has not stopped this behavior, but it will certainly be unsustainable in the long run.
Dig up truffles abroad, look for truffles through truffle dogs or pigs, and then restore the soil cover after digging, so that there will be more in the next year.
The price of black truffles for three hundred yuan a kilogram is now a sharp drop from more than a decade ago, and the original price will be higher than 3,000 yuan.
The history of black truffles in China is not long, and in the late 1980s and early 1990s, black truffles were discovered when surveying wild fungal resources in Huidong County, Sichuan Province.
Because Huidong County is next to Yunnan, and Yunnan is a large fungal province, so follow this clue to find, the result is that a large number of black truffles were found in Yunnan, and Yunnan is currently the province that produces the most black truffles in China.
At the beginning, the main source of black truffles was in France, and due to the large number of black truffles produced in China, the price of black truffles has been reduced to 1/10 of the original.
Black truffle is actually a type of root fungus, similar to poria, which is often used as a condiment in Western food with high-grade ingredients.
The history of black truffle consumption in the West is more than 2,000 years, but at present, in the Chinese recipes, the value of black truffles is rarely developed.
However, as a valuable ingredient, black truffle is characterized by no way to grow it, and can only rely on manual collection.
Experiments have been carried out in China to grow black truffles, but the final results are uncontrollable. So economically, the dispersion of inputs and outputs is too great, and there is no way to carry out orderly production, so no one wants to gamble on this matter.
Black truffles grow mature every winter, where the black truffles mature, the surrounding land and vegetation are as if they have been burned by fire, scorched black, once the black truffles are excavated and collected, the vegetation will still return to its original state.
At present, it can only be known that the growth of black truffles must rely on the roots of trees to obtain nutrients, similar to parasitics, and that truffles themselves cannot transmit spores, and must rely on other animals to nibble and bring spores to other places.
How this phenomenon can occur is also a mystery.
Fungi are a large group of organisms that are independent of animals and plants, and they are called fungi because the cells of fungi resemble both animals and plants.
Animal cells have no cell wall, but have cytocentrosomes, which play a key role in cell division, and higher plants have cell walls, but no centrosomes.
However, fungal plants have both cell walls and centrosomes.
So it's also a mystery about the origin of the fungus, it may have evolved from animals or it could have evolved from plants.
Fungi do not have organs that can capture the energy of sunlight, cannot synthesize organic matter on their own, and must rely on humus to live.
Because fungi need organic matter in nature to provide energy, they are particularly sensitive to the external environment, on the one hand, they need inorganic conditions such as temperature, water and air in nature, and on the other hand, they also need to be associated with other organisms.
The source and type of humus, which varies very slightly, determines truffle growth. Many times the same location is only a few meters apart, and truffles will appear under one ground, but not under the other.
Therefore, hunters who collect truffles often have to remember the location of the last time they found truffles, and the next time they go to pick them, they have a high probability of discovery.
Black truffles cannot be cultivated artificially, which is of great research value from a scientific point of view, and it also represents the question raised by a certain major phenomenon in nature: whether there is a factor in nature that is not yet perceived by human beings affecting the process of life, and this factor may be hidden very deeply, beyond the scope of modern science.
There are many unsolved mysteries in nature, but they are all solved one by one in the continuous progress of science, but there are still some phenomena that should be very simple, but they are full of mysteries.
Black truffles cannot be cultivated artificially, just one of the mysteries, two more listed below.
First, the process by which the virus invades the cell cannot find a source of energy. When the virus drills into the cell, it has to make a hole in the cell membrane, and then expand the hole 10,000 times before the virus can enter. The process of reaming is a mechanical process, and where the energy comes from is unknown.
Second, the life of neutrons is measured by different methods. Scientists first put some neutrons in a bottle and check the quantity after a while. It is also possible to have neutrons pass through a channel, counting the number of neutrons at the entrance and exit, because it takes time to pass through this tunnel, so that the life of the neutrons can also be calculated. But the results calculated by these two methods are completely different.
Black truffles enjoy a high place in French recipes, and the price is very high.
The world's top microbiological institute , the Pasteur Institute , is located in France, and the founder of the institute, Louis E. Pasteur is known as the father of the microbiome, before the invention of the electron microscope by Louis. Pasteur had already discovered the rabies virus. In the study of microorganisms, France believes that it is the second in the world, and no one dares to recognize the world's first.
France has tried countless experiments on the cultivation of black truffles, but they have failed.
All three of the phenomena we have enumerated have a common feature: all possibilities are examined and no cause is found.
If the article is written only here, it may be a pity, but the author still tries to give a directional answer.
First, this factor is very deeply hidden, so it should be a physical factor, not a chemical factor.
Second, this factor may belong to the underlying laws of the material world. If it is an explicit law, it will affect almost all biological processes, but it does not.
Third, it does not belong to any known laws of nature.
It must be specifically pointed out, and it may be related to life activities and dark matter and dark energy.
The problem of artificial cultivation of black truffles, perhaps like Fermat's Law, seems simple, but the principle is extremely complex.
