After soaking the fungus and chilling it in the refrigerator until the next day you can consume it, but you need to observe if there are any signs of deterioration before consuming it, if it is deteriorated then it is not recommended. Generally, it is more appropriate to consume fungus 1-2 hours after soaking. It is sufficient to soak fungus in cool water for 2-3 hours on weekdays and not to soak for too long. If the soaked fungus deteriorates, it will easily breed bacteria and toxic substances such as mold spots will appear. If the fungus is then consumed, it will lead to a series of toxic reactions in the body such as nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and in more serious cases, abdominal cramps, bloody stools, and organ failure may occur. In fact, fungus needs attention if it is soaked in room temperature water for more than 8 hours. Soaking for a long time will make the bacteria multiply faster and reduce the shelf life of the fungus itself. When you want to eat fungus, you should soak it properly to avoid the condition of needing to be refrigerated because of too much soaking. Refrigerator temperature is generally at 0℃-5℃. Draining the water from the soaked fungus and then refrigerating it can inhibit the growth of bacteria as well as reproduction, but bacteria may also survive in the refrigerator, so if the refrigerating time is too long leading to deterioration it is not recommended to eat.
