Health Benefits of song mo
Lowest carbs, highest fibre
Dried pine mushroom (松蘑) has ~20.3g protein and ~47.8g fibre per 100g, with only ~0.4g carbs - the lowest-carb, highest-fibre among common edible mushrooms. It's mycorrhizal with pine roots, growing in the pine-leaf litter; hard to cultivate, so market supply is almost all wild dried.
Don't confuse it with matsutake
Despite both growing under pines, pine mushroom (Lactarius/boletus) and matsutake (松茸) are completely different. Pine mushroom is affordable; matsutake is a luxury (hundreds to tens-of-thousands RMB a jin). Dried pine mushroom is cheap, fine for daily stews and soup, chewy and tasty. Soak it well and remove any grit at the stem before cooking.
