1. Growth environment

Tricholoma matsutake is a relatively dry alpine woodland that grows above 3,500 meters above sea level in the cold temperate zone. It grows on pine, hemlock and other trees. It is an exogenous mycorrhizal fungus with a strong unique aroma and is a secondary endangered species. It is a pure natural medicine and food dual-use fungus that cannot be artificially cultivated. It is mainly distributed in Tibet, Yunnan, and Sichuan in China.

Agaricus blazei is grown in a high temperature, ventilated and humid environment. It is a fungus that grows on the grass. It is also a fungus for both medicine and food, but it can be cultivated artificially.

It is precisely because the pine mushroom can not be artificially cultivated, and the Agaricus blazei can be artificially cultivated, so some unscrupulous traders use the artificially cultivated Agaricus blazei to pretend to be pure natural pine mushroom.
