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.

Translucent Fungi

[5 Photos] – This stuff is weird, like water with a skin, and, it grows seeds? Another type of translucent fungi below, Tremella fuciformis. I see quite a bit of this stuff around. There seems to be this strange crossover between fungi, slime-molds and lichen, demonstrated in the photos above and below. But they are not the same, or apparently related. Thanks for visiting. Resist the…

[rjalker]

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.

Why Mushroom Supplement Powder is Popular Among Health Enthusiasts? 

In recent years, health enthusiasts have been gravitating towards natural supplements, and one standout in this category is mushroom supplement powder. This trend is more than just a passing phase; it is rooted in the substantial health benefits that these fungi offer. Here’s a detailed look at why mushroom supplement powder has become a staple for those committed to maintaining and enhancing their well-being. 

A Historical Perspective 

Mushrooms have been used for centuries in various cultures for their medicinal properties. Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and even ancient Egyptian practices have documented the use of mushrooms for their healing benefits. Modern science has started to validate many of these traditional uses, shedding light on the potent bioactive compounds found in mushrooms.

Rich Nutrient Profile 

Mushroom supplement powders offer a natural, holistic approach to enhancing health, making them a valuable addition to any wellness routine. It is derived from various species, each boasting a unique nutrient profile. Brainezy used mushrooms include:

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) stands out for its cognitive benefits. Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, it supports memory and focus, potentially aiding nerve regeneration and bolstering the immune system. It may also help manage anxiety and depression.

Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) is renowned for its immune-boosting polysaccharides, enhancing the body’s defense mechanisms. Research suggests it supports cancer treatment, improves gut health, and reduces inflammation.

Shiitake (Lentinula edodes), a staple in traditional medicine, is rich in lentinan, which bolsters the immune system and combats infections. These mushrooms also contain vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that may lower cholesterol, support heart health, and exhibit anti-cancer properties.

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), known as the “mushroom of immortality,” has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. It boosts the immune system, reduces inflammation, and supports overall well-being. Its adaptogenic properties help manage stress, improve sleep, and enhance longevity.

Cordyceps enhances endurance and energy levels by improving oxygen utilization, making it popular among athletes. It supports respiratory health, reduces inflammation, and strengthens the immune system, contributing to overall vitality.

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), a powerhouse of antioxidants, supports immune function, reduces oxidative stress, and improves skin health. It’s being researched for potential anti-cancer and anti-aging benefits.

Maitake (Grifola frondosa), also known as “Hen of the Woods,” supports immune function with its beta-glucans. It may help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, offering potential benefits for those with diabetes or metabolic issues.

Tremella (Tremella fuciformis Berk), the “beauty mushroom,” is rich in natural hyaluronic acid, which maintains skin moisture and elasticity, promoting a healthy complexion.

King Trumpet (Pleurotus eryngii), offers culinary delight and health advantages. It’s a great source of ergothioneine, an antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress, and is rich in vitamins, minerals, and protein, supporting immune health and overall well-being.

Immune System Support 

One of the primary reasons health enthusiasts are turning to mushroom powder is its ability to boost the immune system. The beta-glucans found in mushrooms activate various immune cells, enhancing the body’s ability to fight off infections and diseases. Regular consumption of mushroom powder can lead to a more resilient immune response, which is particularly beneficial during cold and flu season.

Cognitive Enhancement 

In an age where cognitive performance is highly valued, mushrooms like Lion’s Mane have gained popularity for their neuroprotective properties. Studies suggest that compounds in Lion’s Mane promote the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), which supports the maintenance and regeneration of neurons. This can lead to improved memory, focus, and overall brain health, making it a favorite among students, professionals, and older adults.

Stress Reduction and Adaptogenic Properties 

Reishi and Cordyceps are renowned for their adaptogenic properties, which help the body adapt to stress and restore balance. These mushrooms can modulate the body’s stress response, reduce anxiety, and promote a sense of calm. In today’s fast-paced world, the ability to manage stress effectively is crucial, and mushroom supplements offer a natural solution.

Antioxidant Powerhouse 

Mushrooms like Chaga are incredibly rich in antioxidants, which play a critical role in protecting the body from oxidative stress and free radical damage. Antioxidants help to reduce inflammation, slow down the aging process, and lower the risk of chronic diseases. Incorporating mushroom powder into a daily routine can thus contribute to long-term health and vitality.

Enhanced Energy and Endurance 

For those leading active lifestyles, Cordyceps has become a go-to supplement. Known for increasing ATP production (the energy currency of the cell), Cordyceps can boost physical performance, enhance stamina, and speed up recovery. Athletes and fitness enthusiasts often add Cordyceps powder to their pre-workout routines to gain a natural edge.

Versatile and Easy to Incorporate 

One of the practical reasons for the popularity of mushroom supplement powder is its versatility. It can be easily added to smoothies, coffee, tea, soups, and even baked goods. This ease of incorporation makes it simple for individuals to enhance their diet without making significant changes to their daily routines.

Conclusion 

The popularity of mushroom supplement powder among health enthusiasts is well-founded, given its myriad of health benefits. From boosting the immune system and enhancing cognitive function to providing stress relief and improving physical performance, mushrooms offer a natural, holistic approach to health. As research continues to unveil more about these incredible fungi, it’s likely that their popularity will only continue to grow. For those looking to enhance their well-being naturally, mushroom supplement powder is a powerful and versatile addition to their health regimen.

To quickly note, I received this for free from Picky and numbuz:n in exchange for my honest review.

It comes in a dropper bottle with 30 ml (1.01 oz) and has no fragrance.

This serum has a very light semi-watery texture and has kind of a milky appearance.

Once blended out it feels very watery and absorbs quickly.

It's very hydrating and I do feel it leaves the skin brighter.

Recommended use is to apply an appropriate amount and gently spread it along the skin texture, and pat it lightly to help with absorption. After using, I found this to be a very exceptional product. I do have sensitive skin most of the time, though it's been improving, and I am very careful about vitamin C serums or serums with a lot of actives, even avoiding them most of the time. But this one is really good, it didn't cause any irritation and there's of course no fragrance or major irritants in the ingredients. The product is brightening and works at toning the skin with it's lightening properties. The vitamin C ingredient in here is also a lot more stable than others so you don't have to worry about this going bad in a short time. I feel this would be great over time on hyperpigmentation, like acne scarring. It's overall very gentle, but I'd patch-test it if you are very sensitive to actives like niacinamide and ascorbic acid (though there's only a tiny amount of it). I'd recommend this to any skin type and I feel it's gentle enough to accommodate most skin.

What I like: this product is very hydrating, brightens and evens skin tone, targets hyperpigmentation like acne scarring, it's fragrance-free, gentle, and has amazing ingredients. What I don't like: this product is amazing, just keep in mind all of the active ingredients.

Pros:

Hydrating

Brightening

Targets scars and dark spots

Fragrance-free

Gentle

Sensitive skin friendly

Great ingredients

More stable than most vitamin C serums

Cons:

None

Would I buy this?

Yes

Rating: 10/10
