Edible fungi are edible fungi; Mushrooms are higher fungi that can form large fleshy (or gelatinous) fruiting bodies or sclerotia.
Edible fungi are rich in protein and amino acids, the content of which is several times to dozens of times that of ordinary vegetables and fruits. For example, the protein content of fresh mushrooms is 1.5-3.5%, which is three times that of Chinese cabbage, six times that of radish and 17 times that of apples. The protein content of 1 kg dried mushrooms is equivalent to the protein content of 2 kg lean meat, 3 kg eggs or 12 kg milk. Lysine in edible fungi is very rich, including 18 amino acids that constitute protein and 8 trace elements necessary for human body. The content of lysine in cereal is low, and the content in edible fungi is also quite rich. The fat content of edible fungi is very low, accounting for about 0.2%-3.6% of the weight of dried products, of which 74%-83% are unsaturated fatty acids beneficial to human health. Edible fungi also contain vitamins. The VB 1 and V 12 in edible fungi are higher than those in meat. The Vc content of Volvariella volvacea is 1.2 ~ 2.8 times that of pepper, 2 ~ 5 times that of pomelo and orange, and 0/7 times that of Lentinus edodes. The original Vd content of Lentinus edodes is as high as 128 international unit, which is 8 times that of laver, 7 times that of sweet potato and 2 1 times that of soybean. VD can be transformed into VD by ultraviolet irradiation, which promotes the absorption of calcium. Edible fungi are also rich in various mineral elements: phosphorus, potassium, sodium, calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, manganese and other trace elements. Tremella contains more phosphorus, which helps to restore and improve brain function. Mushrooms and auricularia auricula are high in iron. The potassium content in mushroom ash is 64%, which is a high-grade food in alkaline food and can neutralize the acid produced by meat food. Edible fungi are not only delicious, but also nutritious, and are often called healthy food. For example, mushrooms not only contain a variety of essential amino acids, but also have the functions of lowering blood cholesterol and treating hypertension. In recent years, it has also been found that mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, Flammulina velutipes and Hericium erinaceus contain substances that enhance the anti-cancer ability of human body.
