Question 1

Should I use cold water or warm water to soften it?

Accepted Answer

Re-hydrate with cold water would give you the best taste, but it will take longer, typically around 1 hour but timing could vary. You will know when these wood ears are ready when they have completely softened. Warm water would re-hydrate faster, normally around 15 to 20 minutes depending on temperature.

Question 2

To seller: if i were to purchase today, pls let me know what month the fungus was harvested? where in northeast china is it harvestied/processed?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your interest in our product. We are not the manufacturer, we import these products from China. Based on our understanding, these wood ear mushrooms are grown and harvested in Northeastern China, mostly in Jilin province. These mushrooms are harvested twice a year, with the fall harvest typically starting in Sep/Oct, lasting for a few weeks depending on weather conditions. After harvest, the wood ears are naturally dried and then stored until further processing. Processing mostly involve washing/cleaning the mushrooms, further drying, and testing for filth/microbial/foreign materials. The manufacturer will base their processing schedules on the orders they receive, so the actual date of processing may vary depending on timing of their orders. The wood ear mushrooms available for sale currently are from the 2019 fall harvest.

Question 3

A highly rated customer satisfaction product. Is this grown in organic soil?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your interest in our product. Apologies for the delayed response, as we have been short-staffed lately due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This product is not certified to be organic, so it likely is not grown in organic soil. Fungus type mushrooms are typically grown on tree trunks, fallen logs, crushed wood, or a combination of these. They are not grown in typical soil like other green leaf plants or grains.
