FOTD #060 : white cloud ears! (tremella fuciformis)
the white cloud ears fungus (also called snow fungus, snow ear, silver ear fungus & white jelly mushroom) is a parasitic fungus in the family tremellaceae. it is widespread, especially in the tropics, & grows on the dead branches of broadleaf trees !!
the big question : can i bite it?? yes :-) this fungus is edible (traditionally used in sweet dishes), has medicinal uses, & has history in asian beauty products.
t. fuciformis description :
"fruit bodies are gelatinous, watery white, up to 7.5 centimetres (3 inches) across (larger in cultivated specimens), & composed of thin but erect, seaweed-like, branching fronds, often crisped at the edges."

🍎Too Uptight!!🍎
Vil Schoenheit x Hippie! GN! Reader
Tw: None!!
Idk if I nailed the hippie aspect but I went for more of a "love of the earth and environment, foraging, self-sustaining, kinda spiritual" hippie ig??? I feel like it reads more spiritual cottage-core but eh?? I'm happy with it.
When one gazed upon the beautiful visage of Vil Schoenheit many words came to mind. For many it was the classic “beautiful”, “elegant”, “stunning”, or “Poise”…..maybe even “fairest of them all” a title that he always stove for during every hour of everyday. As he currently walks through the courtyard you can’t help but think that the whole thing seems exhausting. But you admired his commitment all the same and the way there was such nobility to his aura.
Though at the same time you wished Vil took better care or himself and took time to simply let go and be at peace with the world.
“Perfect, I found another Tremella Fuciformis.” Jade calls, scooping the mushroom off a dying branch on the forest floor and placing it in his foraging satchel.
“Ah, really?! That’s like, clump number 8, right? And you can just call them a snow-ear Jade…” you shake yourself free from your previous thoughts about Pomfiore warden, a blush deepening on your cheeks.
While many saw you as “lazy” or “way out of it” you preferred to call yourself what you are, a hippie. While the others were in class studying away you kidnapped Grim and ran into Jade on the way and asked for help with foraging. Foraging for what? Snow-ear, a fungus from your world that somehow carried over to the twisted wonderland. Though the only difference? Back home they grow in tropical climates like Brazil, but here they actually grow in the snow. Thus, why you’re currently up mountains, in one of Jade’s best foraging spots.
“Say, Perfect, why do you need snow ears anyways?” Jade asks suddenly, catching you off guard and making you blush before hiding it behind your scarf.
“Uhm….I just was going to use it in a soup-”
“Soup?! Why didn’t you tell me this sooner!! I thought you wanted to make some fancy lotion for Vil!!” Grim blabs loudly, making you jump and then sigh.
“Ah, a gift for Schoenheit? Well you made a good choice using Snow-ear.” Jade chuckles.
“Listen, if anyone deserves a breather it’s Vil. He always seems to tightly wound, and…he needs to just…let go…” you mumble.
Later that day you took your haul into your room and with the guidance of Epel who was well aware of and on board with your plan to woo Vil, the two of you start to brew a nice natural face scrub, as Vil had claimed that the one he had been using before had stopped being made.
——————————The next day——————————
“PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME!!” You call, clothes flowing in the wind. Your self altered uniform that you’re so proud of making you nervous as it’s so different than the man across from you.
You had given Vil your gift with a note asking him to meet you in the courtyard of Pomfiore at sunset. You stood by a large cotton wood in the back left corner of the property. The warm spring air making the puffs of white pollen look like snow as they fall to Earth.
Vil remains silent, and it rings loudly as the wind whistling and the ruffling leaves make an almost intolerable cacophony that it only drowned our by your thoughts.
He’s going to say no. He thinks you’re too different to him. He’s a try-hard prince who’s perfect and you’re the magicless ramshackle prefect who dances in the rain, forages for food, and loves the Earth more than words can describe.
How could this work? It can’t-
“Heh, took you long enough.” Vil muses pulling you back to reality.
“Wha-” you start looking up at Vil.
His dorm robes flutter in the wind much like your own clothes, and a red blush dusts his ivory cheeks as he smiles, tucking a loose hair behind his ear as he nears you, and leans down with a smile.
“May I…?” He asks, ever the gentleman.
You’re almost too stunned to speak, only muttering out a brief: “Y-Yeah…”
Crimson lips meet yours as the Pomfiore perfect gives you a brief smooch before standing with a confident smirk plastered on his face.
“My, flustered are we? I know I’m beautiful but you must learn to control this if we’re to make this work darling…though it is charming how surprised you seemed to be. Honestly have you picked up on none of my hints from the past month?” He questions.
You then blush harder. Though you thank the world and spirits around that this man was given to you. And you step forward and lay your head against his chest, earning a chuckle from him.
——————————7 months later—————————
You lay with your head in what you believe to be the most comfortable lap in the world. But even prettier is the view. Vil takes another bite of popcorn you made earlier and looks at the romance movie playing.
Vil sighs deeply, letting his shoulders slouch, he places some of the junk food in your mouth. He wipes his now free hand free of butter and then moves it to massage your scalp, his nails scratching in the most satisfying way.
Vil sits on his side one hand propping himself up as your head lays in his lap and his free hand plays with your hair, he looks down at you with a loving look mixed no doubt with the serotonin from the sickeningly sweet romance movie. He’s dressed in one of your sleep shirts and a pair of sweatpants and had left his own clothes in your living room, as he claimed:
“I wouldn’t want all of my belongings to smell like all this junk, lord knows what would happen if Rook were to figure out I join you to eat junk and watch movies on Friday nights...” He would trail off and grumble but never turn down an invitation.
It was euphoric in a way, to see Vil come to you at 7:00pm on the dot each Friday. Rook and Epel knew full well you were dating their house-warden and kept it a secret for your sake but what they didn’t know was how much your hippie lifestyle had started to creep into Vil’s routine.
He’d come to you after one of his photo shoots, and look as if he wanted to tear his hair out from stress. He’d walk in and grab you by the collar and kiss you before changing into a comfy outfit you bought for him, much more your style than his. with a flowing skirt, a nice blouse with embroidered flowers, handmaid jewelry, and a colorful bandana to tuck most of his hair back. You'd then drag him out the woods behind Ramshackle and have him help you forage for dinner. He was a natural at botany and poisons after all.
Before, things would be more formal, more of just small talk, asking about each other’s day with tension heavy in the air. not knowing how to connect to each other even though you had been friends for months before and shared a common interest in botany and films. it was so easy as friends but harder as a new couple.
You hated it. He hated it too.
But one day after talking about what you both desired out of this relationship, you both realized you wanted someone to simply relax with. Though your ideas of relaxation varied a-lot. Mostly because Vil didn’t seem to know how to truly relax without doing some sort of physical activity. Lazying around seemed repulsive to him. So you compromised.
You were both interested in botany and naturally grown foods and products, thus why not teach Vil more about the Earth and how to harness it in a healthy, sufficient way? It was still something active in Vil’s mind, thus it’s always how things started until you both made your way back inside and to the kitchen to cook your findings. while you played music from your world on your somehow still functional phone. I couldn't make calls to your family, but somehow still had your playlist intact. Vil thought the music choices were odd but grew to like it and respect it for its message and freeness in expression over time.
Afterward was always different, however. Sometimes a movie, and sometimes just talking or enjoying each other’s presence and cuddling.
“I’m glad, you know…” Vil drawls out with a yawn. you look at the clock, around 11 pm this is late for him, as Vil is usually early to bed and early to rise,
“What for?” You ask with a hum.
“I’m glad I’m here with you…you make me feel so soft and warm." he groans in frustration and rubs the corner of his eye with his index finger, spreading some of his makeup before continuing "No…that doesn’t make any sense…I suppose I mean you make me content and happy.” He hums and smiles warmly, causing you to reciprocate.
“You make me happy too love…” You smile up at him, leaning up to meet him as he leans down and you two share a chaste, emotional, kiss.
“What a wonderful life this is…” you think to yourself.

Tremella fuciformis is a species of fungus; it produces white, frond-like, gelatinous basidiocarps (fruiting bodies). It is widespread, especially in the tropics, where it can be found on the dead branches of broadleaf trees. This fungus is commercially cultivated and is one of the most popular fungi in the cuisine and medicine of China.[1]T. fuciformis is commonly known as snow fungus, snow ear, silver ear fungus, white jelly mushroom, and white cloud ears.
Okay then!!!!
Tremella fuciformis has been cultivated in China since at least the nineteenth century.[14]: 159 Initially, suitable wooden poles were prepared and then treated in various ways in the hope that they would be colonized by the fungus. This haphazard method of cultivation was improved when poles were inoculated with spores or mycelium. Modern production only began, however, with the realization that both the Tremella and its host species needed to be inoculated into the substrate to ensure success. The "dual culture" method, now used commercially, employs a sawdust mix inoculated with both fungal species and kept under optimal conditions.[14]: 327 The most popular species to pair with T. fuciformis is its preferred host, Annulohypoxylon archeri.[1] Estimated production in China in 1997 was 130,000 tonnes. T. fuciformis is also cultivated in other East Asian countries, with some limited cultivation elsewhere.[14]: 327
-
In Chinese cuisine, T. fuciformis is traditionally used in sweet dishes. While tasteless, it is valued for its gelatinous texture as well as its supposed medicinal benefits.[14]: 329 Most commonly, it is used to make a dessert soup called luk mei (六味) in Cantonese, often in combination with jujubes, dried longans, and other ingredients. It is also used as a component of a drink and as an ice cream. Since cultivation has made it less expensive, it is now additionally used in some savoury dishes.[14]: 329 In Vietnamese cuisine, it is often used in Chè (Vietnamese pronunciation: [cɛ̂]), a Vietnamese term that refers to any traditional Vietnamese sweet beverage, dessert soup or pudding.
not what I was expecting at all.

Black Fungus, White Fungus, Yellow Fungus: Are They Affecting Fertility
With the second wave yet to subside, and an impending third wave COVID brings with it associated issues that cause a lot of concern. The terms black fungus, white and yellow fungus have become household names. With the rise in cases, there is an intriguing concern about the dangers of the disease and how to prevent them.
Also known as Mucormycosis, it is caused by a group of molds called mucormycetes. It is not a new disease as such but has gained attention during the pandemic. It occurs in patients after they recover from COVID 19 due to the weakened immune system. These molds are found in leaves, compost, soil etc. When you inhale the molds, there is a possibility of infection in the eyes,face,lungs or sinuses.
TABLE OF CONTENT
Black, white and yellow fungus- what are they?
What do experts say?
Do they affect fertility?
It starts with blisters or ulcers on the skin, face swelling, pain and redness, fever, headache, cough, itchy and bloody eyes etc. This progresses to the sinuses- air pockets found in the nose, forehead, cheekbones, behind the eyes and teeth etc. In a more severe stage, it may cause coughing up of blood and can be life threatening. It can be as grave as having to have the eye removed to prevent the disease from progressing and save the patient’s life.
It most likely affects those who have very weak immune systems, uncontrolled diabetes, long stays in the hospital/ICU with the use of oxygen support, had an organ transplant etc. The danger here is that the condition progresses very rapidly and causes loss of lives in a very short duration . Complications such as paralysis, a brain infection and death may occur.
What do experts say?
According to experts, the terms black, white and yellow fungus are in reality variants of a fungal attack, caused by Mucormycosis, Candida and Aspergillosis. Naming the condition by colour can be misleading, such as white fungus which in reality is a mushroom called Tremella fuciformis, also called white jelly mushroom, snow fungus mushroom, snow ear fungus, silver ear fungus etc. Another type is the white coral fungus termed white fungus. These are edible and favoured by some but sometimes white mold on oyster mushrooms can be concerning and may be trimmed off before cooking . This mold most commonly in oyster mushrooms keeps at high temperature. Dried tremella is an important part of Chinese cuisine.
Similarly, black fungus is a term used to denote black corn fungus that grows inside corn and is considered a delicacy in Mexico. The high black mold on corn is seen in the kernels and is a good market buy in Mexican cuisine. Black fungus or black finger fungus refers to Xylaria polymorpha that grows at the base of trees. Some other types of black fungus also exist. Apart from these there are various types of black and white fungus of the respective colour.
When it affects the skin, black patches appear. White patches occur in a fungal attack caused by a specific fungus called Candida, and commonly as thrush starts in the tongue or private parts and commonly occurs in the nose, mouth, lungs and stomach or nail beds. Aspergillosis is a rare infection and infects the lungs directly.
Symptoms include a cotton-like feeling in the mouth ,loss of taste,pain while eating or swallowing ,cracking and redness at the corners of the mouth etc. When the infections get severe, there is a dip in blood pressure, fever, abdominal pain and urinary tract infections.
Pus accumulation can cause fever, swelling , slow wound healing, and progress to serious symptoms such as organ failure. It is a combination of multiple factors that increase the probability of the disease such as uncontrolled diabetes, impaired immunity, poor nutrition, improper hygiene and sanitation etc.
As far as mucormycosis is concerned, a high sugar environment is conducive for the fungi to grow and since the disease progresses very rapidly, it is important to detect the disease early in order to prevent complications.Experts also suspect that the use of steroids in COVID 19 contribute to the lowered immunity which in turn increases the chances of mucormycosis.
Fungi are organisms present in the environment. When the body’s immunity is low due to a variety of reasons, the body loses its ability to fight disease-causing organisms in the environment and this may cause an infection. It is extremely important to get a medical opinion when any of these symptoms occur as a delay could be fatal. The Centre for disease control and prevention reports that there is a 54% risk of death when left untreated.
If your doctor suspects an infection, a sample will be taken from the throat or nose and tested. CT or MRI scans may be necessary. When found early, the disease can be prevented. Treatment is possible in the early stages with antifungal medications.
How to Prevent Mucormycosis
In order to prevent mucormycosis affecting you,
– Avoid exposure to dusty areas
– Wear masks and maintain them clean and dry.
– Avoid unnecessary use of steroids especially without medical advice.
– Wear shoes and gloves while handling soil , manure etc
– Maintain good personal hygiene, including a daily scrub bath
– Keep blood sugar levels under control
– Maintain humidity levels inside the house
– Keep surroundings clean.
– Maintain good oral and nasal hygiene
– Do not wear damp clothing. Dry completely before use.
– Keep frequent use areas dry and prevent mold formation
– Report to the doctor immediately if you notice any symptoms
– Do not self medicate. Get medical advice before taking any medication.
Do they affect fertility?
Among the fungal attacks, Candida infections or yeast infections referred to as Candidiasis have a role to play in male and female fertility. These infections are more common in women, and about 72% of women experience such infections at least once in their lifetime though males can also have the condition. In women, frequent infections alter the pH of the vagina, causing itching, swelling and discharge. When this delicate balance is disturbed, the sperms do not survive well in an acidic environment, thus making it difficult for the sperm to enter the uterus for fertilization. Also, in candidiasis, the vaginal discharge is either watery or cheesy.
When the sperm enters the cervix, the consistency of the vaginal discharge makes it difficult for the sperm to swim . This may kill the sperm and hence delay pregnancy. Women with candidiasis may develop an aversion towards having sexual intercourse due to the rashes, burning sensation, and extreme discomfort caused by the condition.
Males may also be infected with Candida causing a reddish rash, moist skin and white shiny patches. This may interfere with sperm function and quality and contribute to infertility. These infections are transmitted through sexual intercourse and hence both partners will need treatment and abstain from unprotected sex until it clears up.
As always, prevention is better and take note of these:
Wear breathable cotton underwear.
Do not stay in wet underwear
Maintain a healthy diet and cut down on fried processed food, and alcohol.
Do not use scented vaginal lotions or douches unless advised by the doctor.
These infections are treatable and need not hamper your dream of having a baby. Take precautions and avoid these factors that may exacerbate the condition and get medical advice as early as you see symptoms and you are good to go!
