The bamboo fungus belongs to the order of Gastromycetes, order of Ghost Pen, family of Ghost Pen, and genus of bamboo fungus. Bamboo fungus is a world-renowned edible fungus belonging to the phylum Fungi, including the long skirt bamboo fungus and the short skirt bamboo fungus, which have their fruiting bodies removed from their heads.

Bamboo shoots are the young shoots of bamboo, also known as bamboo shoots. Bamboo is a perennial evergreen herbaceous plant, and its edible parts consist of young, tender, and short shoots or whips. Bamboo is native to China, with numerous types, strong adaptability, and extremely wide distribution. There are a total of 30 genera and 550 species worldwide, abundant in tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions. China is one of the countries that produce the most bamboos in the world. There are 22 genera and more than 200 kinds of bamboos, which are distributed all over the country. The the Pearl River basin and the Yangtze River basin are the largest. There is little rainfall and low temperature in the north of Qinling Mountains, and only a few dwarf bamboos grow.

The main excellent bamboo species for bamboo shoots in China are Phyllostachys pubescen Mazel in Jiangxi and other regions in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, P. Praecox C.D. Chu et C.S. Chao, Sinocalamus latiflorus McClure and S. oldhami McClure in the Pearl River Basin, Fujian, Taiwan and other regions. The underground stems of scattered bamboo species such as bamboo and early bamboo penetrate deeper into the soil, and the bamboo whip and shoot buds are protected by the soil layer. They are not easily affected by freezing damage in winter, and the shoot emergence period is mainly in spring. The underground stems of clustered bamboo species such as Mazhu and Green Bamboo are shallow in the soil, and the shoot buds often protrude from the soil surface. They are susceptible to freezing damage in winter, and the shoot emergence period is mainly in summer and autumn. Bamboo is native to tropical and subtropical regions, preferring warmth and being sensitive to cold. It is mainly distributed in areas with an annual rainfall of 1000-2000mm. The optimal temperature for the growth of bamboo is an annual average of 16-17 ℃, with an average of below 30 ℃ in summer and around 4 ℃ in winter. Bamboo and green bamboo require an annual average temperature of 18-20 ℃, with an average temperature of over 10 ℃ in January. Therefore, bamboo forests are abundant in the south of China, while bamboo forests are scarce in the north. Bamboo requires a deep soil layer, loose, fertile, moist, well drained, and well ventilated soil, with a suitable pH value of 4.5-7.
