Chapter 218： Maitake mushroom (1/2)

The White Qiongshou is very curious, it is obviously the same fruit, why some are poisonous, some are not poisonous?

Shen Feng said, ”We cut down a few of these strange trees over there, and none of them contained the essence of magic plants. Instead, we found this kind of...seems to be mushrooms in the trunk?”

These mushrooms are coral-like branches with fan-shaped to spoon-shaped caps at the ends, overlapping into large clumps.

The surface is gray to light brown, the surface of its cap has fine hairs, reflective stripes, thin edges, curled inward, and the inside of the fungus is jade white.

Lin Chou took a look and said in surprise,

”This is Maitake mushroom, also called Grifola frondosa. It should be an alienated magic plant. Ordinary Maitake mushroom contains very severe neurotoxins, which can paralyze the nerves, but it is not fatal. Well, the taste is also related to its toxins. The same, it's so delicious.”

Maitake mushrooms originated in an island country before the cataclysm. They existed as royal tributes. When local people found this silver-equivalent mushroom in the mountains, they would dance with excitement, hence the name ”Maitake mushroom”.

”It's really a mushroom? How can a mushroom grow in the trunk — it really grows completely in the trunk, and it doesn't show at all. We only saw it by hollowing out the tree.”

Lin Chou asked, ”If I guess right, Maitake mushrooms grow in poisonous fruit trees, right?”

”Yep?”

Lin Chou smiled, ”It's very simple, because the fruit is poisonous.”

The white dome suddenly appeared,

”Brother Lin means that the toxin of the Maitake mushroom is transmitted to the fruit through the tree body? In this way, the beast that eats the fruit will be paralyzed and then digested by the ash tree... But in this case, the leech will not disappear. Did you use it?”

Lin Sorrow said,

”In the beginning, I thought that the leech was symbiotic with the big tree. Now it seems that Maitake and the gray tree are the real symbiotic relationship, and the leech is just a predator to take advantage.”

Everyone is chattering, how many things this tree feeds is really selfless dedication.

The meat stewed in the stone pot gradually boiled, and the meat was fragrant.

Everyone couldn't help swallowing saliva,

”Brother Lin, can you eat it?”

Lin Chou rolled his eyes, ”It's early!”

Pinch off a piece of gray-white Maitake mushroom, put it in your mouth and tasted it,

”Well, it is true that all the toxins have been given to the ash tree fruit, and there are no toxins in itself, very good, then we have a good taste.”

Maitake mushrooms look ordinary and unremarkable. They look like Cinderella's skirts, but of course it is actually gray.

But as we all know, most of the fungi that can be named after ”Matsutake” are precious, cherished, and delicious. The best example is the most famous matsutake in the Matsutake family.

Similarly, Maitake mushrooms are very suitable for charcoal grilling. A little butter or butter is melted and grilled. It does not require any seasoning. It only takes a moment. It is excellent and delicious. It can be matched with meat and vegetables. It can be described as a versatile match. .

Wash the two Maitake mushrooms that Shen Feng brought back, take them apart, and put them in a boiling soup pot.

As soon as it entered the boiling pot, there was a fragrance that was similar to the long-simmered chicken soup, and the rich meaty fragrance could not conceal the freshness at all. It was very magical.

Shan Ye sniffed and couldn't sit still.

”I'll get some more flowers back, it's so fragrant!”

Shen Feng followed, Bai Qiongshou was paralyzed, pulling his neck on the ground and shouting to the two of them.

”Do more and do more, damn...”

”Fuck you mother, why don't you go, if I get it back, if you dare to move a finger, I will tear you up for drinking!”
