Scientists have further analyzed and studied this "strange meat". From the appearance, the whole monster is nearly spherical, with a diameter of about 60 cm and a weight of about 30 kg. Its skin is rough, reddish brown or rusty brown, like pine bark. The peeled cortex is nearly leathery, like beef tendon, with milky white and fat inside, toughness and high water content. It is slightly soft when pressed with your fingers.
Scientists first took internal and external sections for microscopic observation, and found no cell structure possessed by fungi, nor did spores react with Melzr. Scientists speculate that if it is a living body, there must be protein and nucleic acid cell genetic material. So "260" and "280" ultraviolet "absorption peak" tests were done to test. Results There is no typical "absorption peak", which means there is no nucleic acid. Protein color reaction method was used to determine protein, and no color reaction was found.
On this basis, scientists have come to the conclusion that it is neither a fungal organism nor an inanimate substance.
1982, such a "monster" was found on the river beach in Inner Mongolia, weighing 23.5 kilograms. 1In August, 992, a similar monster was found in zhouzhi county, Shaanxi. From the appearance, its color, texture and shape are very close. It was identified by 13 experts in tissue biochemistry, physiology, animals, plants, cells, microorganisms, fungi, medicine and so on. The results were published in the magazine of the university. In the article entitled "About Unknown Creatures", this monster was designated as "Large Myxomycete Complex". It is described in this paper that the surface structure of the object is uneven, the texture is hard and brown, with dense vein structure, and the inside is white, which is delicate, smooth, soft and tough. Appraised as non-animal and plant by animal and plant experts. But it has the ability to breathe and grow, and contains protein and nucleic acid, so it is a living thing. Through internal and epidermal microscope observation, it is considered that the organism is a myxomycete complex formed by various myxomycetes and myxomycetes. The complex feeds on microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast and mold spores, and takes cellulose and chitin as nutrients, so it is considered that this organism is an extremely rare myxomycete complex with Myxomycetes as the main body. At that time, the discovery and report of this rare myxomycete complex shocked the fungal community and myxomycete researchers in China.
In addition, in July of 1993, a villager in Hebei Province also found "strange meat" weighing about 10 kg. Some people think that this kind of "strange meat" is a creature of three kinds of fungi, while others think that it is "Tai sui" or "Tai sui bacteria" described in Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica in the Ming Dynasty.
So far, scientists still don't know whether it is a fungus or other inanimate things. What is its chemical composition? Later, polymer chemists from Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences went to the site for observation and sampling analysis. The results show that this substance contains a variety of aldehydes and acids, but it does not contain the living substance "nitrogen". Some people think it is a chemical substance, but no one knows how these chemicals are polymerized together.
