Mu-Err (Auricularia polytricha, Cloud Ear) 

The mu-err mushroom may be familiar to connoisseurs of Chinese cooking, as this "Chinese morel" is called for in many Chinese dishes. Although this mushroom does not have a particularly distinctive taste, it is highly regarded for its texture. In the European context, records reveal that variants of this mushroom have been used for medicinal purposes since medieval times.

Auricularia polytricha can be found all over the world on deciduous trees, especially elder trees. As translated from Chinese, other names for this mushroom include cloud ear and hairy wood ear due to its fuzzy exterior. Auricularia polytricha is very closely related to Auricularia auricula-judae, and in both Europe and Asia they are often interchangeable. The latter, translated from Latin, is also known as "Judas' ear"; a name that stems from the myth that this mushroom was growing on the side of the tree from which Judas hanged himself.

Approximately 5% of the dry mass of mu-err is pure mineral substance, and the mushroom is also rich in beta-glucans and adenosine.

Our medicinal mushrooms are sourced from the renowned mushroom-growing region of Gutian County (600-700m above sea level), in Fujian, China. The cultivation of mushrooms is an age-old tradition in the region, as is reflected by the unparalleled quality of these mushrooms. The fertile land, sophisticated substrates, as well as the climate, all contribute to a uniquely nutritious end product. Moreover, these pristine lands are protected by dense mountain forests, thus providing an ideal environment for the mushrooms to thrive. Our untreated mushrooms are certified organically grown according to EU standards. They are grown to full maturity and hand-picked at the peak of their vitality, between July and October.

The mushrooms retain their raw quality as a result of gentle drying at temperatures below 40°C. This process preserves the delicate enzymes and potent vital substances of the mushrooms. To ensure that these valuable nutrients are bioavailable, the dried mushrooms are then gently milled. Thanks to our use of the "shell-broken" method, the powder attains a fineness of less than 0.125mm, which ensures that the compounds within the cells as well as within the chitin skeleton of the mushroom are optimally available for absorption. The powder contains the full richness of enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements of the whole fruiting body of the mushroom.
