Matsutake mushroom is one of the world's rare and valuable natural medicinal mushrooms. Matsutake mushroom contains 18 kinds of amino acids, 14 kinds of essential trace elements, 49 kinds of active nutrients, 5 kinds of unsaturated fatty acids, 8 kinds of vitamins, 2 kinds of glycoproteins, rich dietary fiber and a variety of active enzymes, and contains 3 kinds of precious active substances, namely double-chain matsutake polysaccharides, matsutake polypeptides and the world's only anti-cancer substance - matsutake alcohol, which is the world's most precious natural medicinal mushroom.
 It grows in pine forests or mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests in autumn, growing in groups or scattered, sometimes forming mushroom circles. Matsutake mushroom naturally grows in the natural hybrid forest of pine and oak trees without any pollution at an altitude of 2000~4000 meters and above, it has a symbiotic relationship with pine roots, and needs the shade conditions of broad-leaved forests such as oak trees. The place where matsutake mushroom grows needs to have three basic conditions, namely beauty pine, dahlia fragrant flower, and sandy loam soil, because the growth and development of matsutake mushroom has strict requirements for environmental conditions, it is difficult to cultivate artificially and completely rely on wild collection.

Matsutake mushroom contains 18 kinds of amino acids, 14 kinds of essential trace elements, 49 kinds of active nutrients, 5 kinds of unsaturated fatty acids, 8 kinds of vitamins, 2 kinds of glycoproteins, rich dietary fiber and a variety of active enzymes, and contains 3 kinds of precious active substances, namely double-chain matsutake polysaccharides, matsutake polypeptides and the world’s only anti-cancer substance – matsutake alcohol, which is the world’s most precious natural medicinal mushroom. Matsutake mushroom not only has balanced and sufficient nutrition, but also has a variety of effects such as improving immunity, anti-cancer and anti-tumor, treating diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, anti-aging and beauty, promoting stomach and protecting the liver. Matsutake mushrooms are known as a treasure trove of natural nutrition in the world because of their balanced nutrition and rich content.
The first is balance, matsutake mushroom contains most of the basic nutrients required by the human body, and the overall ratio of nutritional structure is reasonable and balanced, especially the content of 18 kinds of amino acids is closest to the standard proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in all foods.
The second is that the nutritional content is sufficient, a large number of research data show that the nutritional content of matsutake mushrooms is among the best in mushrooms, such as matsutake amino acids in the proportion of medicinal amino acids and essential amino acids is higher, is a good nutritional supplement food.
The third is good absorption, the main nutritional element of matsutake is active nutrients, small molecules, easy to absorb, so it is widely used in major surgery patients, weak people nutritional supplements.

Efficacy

1. Anti-cancer and anti-tumor: Matsutake contains a special double-stranded bioactive substance that no other plant has – matsutake alcohol (RNA), which has super anti-gene mutation ability and strong anti-cancer effect.
2. Improve immunity: Matsutake mushroom contains various nutrients required by the human body, and has the effect of comprehensively improving immunity.
3. Anti-aging and beauty: Matsutake polysaccharides can enhance the body’s antioxidant capacity, remove excessive free radicals produced in the body, reduce the degree of peroxidation of tissue cells, improve the body’s immune function, and have anti-aging effects.
4. Treatment of diabetes: Modern medicine has shown that matsutake mushroom has the effect of treating diabetes.
5. Treatment of cardiovascular diseases: The content of unsaturated fatty acids in matsutake is much higher than that of saturated fatty acids, of which the content of oleic acid, linoleic acid and palmitic acid accounts for a high proportion of fatty acids. Oleic acid and linoleic acid can effectively remove garbage in the human blood, delay aging, reduce cholesterol content and blood viscosity, and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension, atherosclerosis and cerebral thrombosis.

Suitable for

sub-healthy people who are weak and easily fatigued; Cancer prevention, cancer patients and people after cancer surgery; Patients with cardiovascular disease; Diabetic; Pregnant and postpartum population; Anti-aging and beautiful women; frail and sick children who do not like to eat; People with indigestion and weak gastric motility.

Buying tips

1. Check the place of origin: Matsutake mushrooms are produced in many regions of China, but the quality of matsutake mushrooms varies greatly in various regions, and the price varies dozens of times at most. At present, China’s excellent matsutake mushrooms recognized in the international market mainly come from Shangri-La. Shangri-La’s mushroom production areas include Diqing mushroom production area, part of Tibet mushroom production area and Sichuan Ganzi Prefecture mushroom production area, the annual output accounts for about 70% of the country’s total output, because of the natural environment, the matsutake mushroom quality is the best, the meat is tight and elastic, full of aroma, the color is light yellow or off-white.
2. Look at the color: yellowing or yellowing of matsutake mushrooms is likely to be spoiled matsutake or added sulfites, and eating such matsutake mushrooms is harmful to the human body.
3. Smell the smell: Good quality matsutake mushrooms smell a unique aroma, while matsutake mushrooms that smell without fragrance are relatively secondary, and matsutake mushrooms that have no aroma at all cannot be eaten.
4. Look at the appearance: the matsutake mushroom growing in the double-leaved forest is strong and powerful, if it is very deformed or thin, it is generally a single-leaved forest matsutake mushroom, and the nutrition is relatively poor. Of course, because matsutake mushrooms grow completely naturally, it’s normal for them to vary in shape.
5. Observe moisture: Matsutake mushrooms with a lot of water are soaked in water, and in the process of preservation, moisture will damage the active nutrients and fiber of matsutake mushrooms.
6. Taste: Good matsutake mushrooms taste stronger, with a faint sweet taste, if there is sour or too soft taste, it means that there is a problem with the practice or has deteriorated.
7. Identification of mushroom age: matsutake mushrooms grow for more than 48 hours, cracks will begin to appear on the cap, and then they will bloom and take off the hat.
8. Specifications: The larger the matsutake mushroom, the better the nutrition. Because how big matsutake mushrooms can grow at the same time is determined by the amount of nutrients in the soil and the quality of the mycelium. So the larger the matsutake mushroom, the more nutritious it is. In addition, since the efficacy of matsutake is related to the amount consumed, the larger the matsutake mushroom, the faster and better the effect.
9. Investigate the mushroom injury: Matsutake mushroom will exude a unique aroma during the growth process, and there are more insects in the forest, so more than half of the matsutake mushrooms will have insect wounds, and insect wounds will destroy the integrity of matsutake mushrooms, so the fewer insect wounds, the better the quality of matsutake mushrooms.
