Named in homage to Yang Guifei, the legendary beauty of China’s Tang Dynasty, Guifei’s Blush is a striking pink variety of Auricularia cornea. Its thick, wavy, gelatinous fruiting bodies exhibit a remarkable color response known as blushing. When sprayed directly with water, the pink flesh blushes a vivid scarlet pink, creating a dramatic display that gives this distinctive strain its name.

Auricularia cornea is a saprobic fungus known for its vigorous mycelial development and layered, ear shaped fruiting bodies. This wide temperature ranging variety combines the characteristic gelatinous texture of wood ear fungi with its distinctive pink coloration. Its adaptability and unusual pigmentation make it an interesting subject for morphological study and specialty culture collections.

The Guifei’s Blush strain brings together unusual coloration, distinctive texture, and a fascinating blushing reaction, making it a memorable addition to a collection of unusual fungal cultures.
