General Question bongkrekic acid and cleaning?

Heyy i have a lot of food anxiety and a trigger a few years back was tremella (snow fungus) because i soaked it a few hours and was paranoid about bongkrekic acid... I'm trying to get over the fear to eat it again and I was wondering:

1) does washing the pot get rid of the toxin once created? I'm worried since it's heat safe there's no real way to get it off...

2) does it still get produced after the starch/tremella is cooked?

Thanks in advance !
