So that's what it's called....Years ago for awhile everyone around here was drinking that tea.... including us....we called it mushroom tea. For a couple years we drank it, it tasted like tea/apple cider, wasn't bad...we would drink 3/4 cup first thing in the mornings. It was suppose to be like the Apple Cider vinegar that people were drinking to 'cure-all'
I made mine in a 4 quart ice cream container, it would make a new thin 'mushroom' on top of the old one each week. Then would throw the old one away and use the new one in your fresh tea mixture...when someone wanted to make some you would cut a chunk off with the scissors and send it in a plastic bag.
Gads, I had forgotten about that thing..it was rubbery and slimmy...Thought it died out in the 80's...Mine always floated on top of the tea, it really didn't look like what's in that bottle....if you made it in a bottle like that you could never get it out...it was pretty tough stuff.
Maybe if I would have kept drinking it I wouldn't have gotten Intestinal Cancer...maybe it caused it....?
