Dried White Tremella (Tremella fuciformis) — Gutian Snow Fungus, Soft & Gelatinous, 500g Bulk

Dried White Tremella (Tremella fuciformis), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Yín Ěr (银耳) and affectionately called Snow Fungus or Bai Mu Er, is the dried fruiting body of a highly revered food-herb treasured for centuries as a gentle, yin-nourishing ingredient. Sourced from Gutian, Fujian—the heartland of Chinese Tremella cultivation—this large-flower grade is prized for its soft, gelatinous texture and abundant collagen-like gel. Its nature is sweet, neutral, and mildly cooling, making it a soothing, nourishing herb traditionally used to moisten dryness, support fluids, and nurture the Lung and Stomach.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully dried to preserve its pale ivory to creamy white color, full ruffled petals, and clean, faintly earthy aroma. The dried fungus feels light and crisp, yet after soaking it plumps into a soft, springy, gelatinous mass. When simmered, it releases a silky, viscous gel with a mild, subtly sweet taste and a smooth, almost jelly-like mouthfeel that thickens soups and sweet broths beautifully.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Tremella is simmered into sweet soups, congee, and gentle tonics to support daily nourishment, especially during dry seasons. It is a classic ingredient in pear and Tremella soup, often paired with lily bulb, goji berry, jujube, and rock sugar. As a daily tea, it is brewed or stewed alone or blended with chrysanthemum and wolfberry for a light, silky infusion that soothes the throat and supports fluid balance.
