Kombucha, also known as the Manchurian or Kargasok mushroom, is
not a mushroom but rather a mixture of bacteria that includes
Acetobacter xylinum, Acetobacter ketogenum and Pichia fermentans,
and various yeasts. The yeasts are usually of the genera
Saccharomyces, Brettanomyces, and Zygosaccharomyces. Kombucha is
most commonly taken as a tea and is prepared by incubating it in
sugared black or green tea. The tea is mildly effervescent and has a
cider-like acid taste.
