What is Kombucha ? |
![]() The smooth, white side of the fungus is the top side, out of which the fungus grows. The bottom side is rough and brown. The fungus first grows in width, then in thickness. It takes the form of the receptacle in which it lies. A round demijohn gives a round fungus, the larger the recipient the larger the fungus. The kombucha fungus can be a smooth, transparent, waxy round plate one time, a white or grey uneven mass the next. Sometimes a leathery thick layer with scarred tissue. Or a convex slice with bubbles on top and slimy threads below, giving it a jellyfish appearance. |

![]() Actually, kombucha is a variable community of all sorts of yeast and bacteria, a complex of tiny microscopically creatures, a factory with different useful and wholesome substances. As a living creature the fungus is subordinate to external factors, such as nutrition and oxygen, temperature etc. It can vary in composition depending on the influence of the cultivation applied by its origin and hygiene. The fungus does not always react to its environment in the same way, so not have the same appearance all the time, just like two apples from the same tree are never alike. |
