Si Mingjing turned pale upon hearing this and said, "So it was wood ear mushrooms all along, no wonder we couldn't find the cause."
In fact, wood ear mushrooms are not inherently toxic, but during the soaking process, if they are left to soak for too long, they can become contaminated with bacteria and mold, producing harmful substances such as aflatoxin and penicillin.
Consuming such wood ear mushrooms may cause symptoms of poisoning in the eater, such as vomiting, diarrhea, and even organ failure.
In fact, the soaking time needed for these wood ear mushrooms is quite short. Normally, regular black wood ear mushrooms only need to be soaked for an hour, so there's no need to soak them for a whole day.
