Chinese Soup Ingredients 煲湯料

Snow fungus is ecologically cultivated from the segmented wood. It is beige in colour and has a natural wood aroma.

It is produced in Fangxian County of Hubei which is known by experts as the “prime line” for edible fungi production. The rainy and humid climate and abundant birch oak resources provide unique conditions for the growth of fungi. Fang County has been the core production area of branch-grown snow fungus since ancient times. The history is going back to a thousand years ago. No pesticides, chemical fertilizers or hormones are used during the planting process, and they are dried with firewood.

房縣段木銀耳(雪耳)產自房縣三岔村生態種植合作社，為段木栽培，生態種植，呈米黃色，聞起來有一股天然木質清亮。

段木銀耳泡發率高，泡發後比它原來的體積至少大三、四倍。 呈雪白色澤，晶瑩通透。 因生長周期長，緻密度更高，更能耐煮。

*表面有塗層黑色點，是段木段過程中的木屑，浸泡時會浮上水面。

湖北房縣位於神農架和武當山交接地帶，處在被專家譽為食用菌生產的“黃金線”上，多雨濕潤的氣候和豐富的樺櫟木資源給菌類的生長提供了得天獨厚的條件。

房縣自古就是段木銀耳的核心產區，生長的樺櫟樹特別適合種植銀耳，有著千年的段木種植的傳承歷史。

在種植過程中不使用任何的農藥化肥與激素，入炕房用柴火烘乾。

向叔，三岔村農民合作組織領頭人， 在2006年加入生態農業行列， 是最早的生態農業踐行者，採用當地天然木料，模擬銀耳野生生長環境，在山上種植。以山上流下的天然泉水噴灑。
