You can't eat moldy and hairy bayberry
Mildew and hairy bayberry can't be eaten. Myrica rubra grows mildew because it breeds bacteria. It may contain mycotoxins harmful to health. If you continue to eat, it may lead to physical discomfort.
It should be noted that after waxberry is moldy and hairy, there will still be mycotoxins in it even if the hairy substances on the surface are washed away. If you accidentally eat this bayberry, it will still do harm to human health.
If Myrica rubra is only white, it may be the reason for the variety of Myrica rubra. At present, there is a rare Myrica rubra variety called White Myrica rubra on the market. The color of this bayberry ranges from pink to milky white, so it is normal to turn white.
