Many people enjoy drinking soup made with tremella, but did you know? Cooked tremella should not be kept for too long.
Tremella contains a relatively high amount of nitrates. After being cooked, if left for too long, within 1-2 days, bacteria will reduce the nitrates into nitrites. Drinking this tremella soup can lead to poisoning.

In addition, fresh wood ear mushrooms should be avoided. This is because fresh wood ear mushrooms contain porphyrin, a light-sensitive substance. This substance is sensitive to light. After consuming fresh wood ear mushrooms, sun exposure can easily cause solar dermatitis, leading to edema, pain, intense itching, and even necrosis in exposed areas. In severe cases, some individuals may experience difficulty breathing due to laryngeal edema.
