（芝杨）清膈化痰
蘑菇（专入肠胃肺）。本于桑楮诸木。埋于土中。浇以米泔而生。味甘气寒。（正要曰。
有毒
。李时珍曰。无毒。）色白。柔软中空。状如未开玉簪花品。又有形如羊肚蜂窠眼。故又有
别其名曰羊肚菜。味甘如鸡。故又有别其名曰鸡腿菇。皆与香蕈诸菇同为一类。但香蕈色白
而平。蘑菇则色白而寒也。香蕈能益胃气不饥。及治小便不禁。蘑菇则能理气化痰。而于肠
胃亦有功也。然皆体润性滞。多食均于内气有阻。而病多发。不独蘑菇然也。
木耳（专门作用于大肠和小肠）。并非由单一树木生成，难以分辨其生长于枯木还是良木。（甄权说：生长在古槐树或桑树上的蕈耳品质较好，柘木上的次之。其余树木生长的容易引发风气，诱发陈旧性疾病，使人腹部拘急，损伤经络及背部肩膊，令人感到胸闷。陈藏器说：从地下经过的木耳有毒；枫树上生长的会让人笑个不停；采集后颜色变异的有毒；夜间发光的、快要腐烂但不生虫的，都有毒。需要用新鲜捣碎的冬瓜蔓汁来解毒。）根据书籍记载，它能治疗痔疮肿胀、妇女崩漏下血。（用法：将此炒黑研成粉末，用酒调服一方寸匕的量。）眼流冷泪。（用法：将木耳烧至存性，配伍木贼一两，研成粉末。每次取二钱，用澄清的米泔水煎服。）血注脚疮。（用法：取桑耳、楮耳、牛屎菇各五钱，男病用女胎发灰三钱，女病用男胎发灰三钱，研成末，用油调和涂抹，或直接干涂。）血痢便血。（用法：取木耳炒后研碎五钱，用酒送服。）各种牙痛等症状。（用法：取荆芥等量，煎汤频繁清洗。）然而木耳性质属阴湿，生于枯木之上，只有耗损精气、寒冷肾脏的危害，而没有温补脾胃的功效。《本经》说它能益气不饥、轻身强志，恐怕是赞誉之词罢了，难道是真的吗？
蘑菇（专门作用于胃、肠、肺）。源于桑树、构树等多种树木，埋于土中，浇灌米泔水而生。味甘，气寒。（《正要》说：有毒。李时珍说：无毒。）色白，柔软中空，形状像未开放的玉簪花。又有形状像羊肚、蜂窠眼的，所以另有别名叫做羊肚菜。味道像鸡肉，所以另有别名叫做鸡腿菇。这些都与香蕈等各类蘑菇属于同一类。只是香蕈色白而性平，蘑菇则色白而性寒。香蕈能益胃气、治饥饿，以及治疗小便不禁；蘑菇则能理气化痰，对肠胃也有功效。然而它们都体润性滞，多吃都会阻碍体内气机，导致疾病多发，不仅仅是蘑菇如此。
(Zhiyang records) Mu'er (Wood Ear Mushroom) can resolve heat toxins in the intestines and stomach that cause hemorrhoids.
Mu'er (specifically enters the Large Intestine and Small Intestine). It does not originate from a single type of tree, making it difficult to distinguish whether it grows on dead or living wood. (Zhen Quan stated: Xun'er [mushrooms/fungi] growing on ancient locust trees or mulberry trees are of good quality; those on zhe trees are inferior. Those growing on other trees tend to stir up wind-qi, aggravate chronic diseases, cause abdominal tightness, damage meridians and the back/shoulders, and induce chest stuffiness. Chen Zangqi stated: Mu'er passing through underground has toxicity; those growing on maple trees cause uncontrollable laughter; those changing color after harvesting have toxicity; those glowing at night, or rotting but free of worms, all possess toxicity. These must be detoxified with freshly crushed juice of winter melon vines.) According to recorded texts, it can treat hemorrhoid swelling and metrorrhagia/metrostaxis (uterine bleeding). (Usage: Charcoalize this herb, grind into powder, and take one cun chi [approx. 2-3 cm] dose mixed with wine.) Cold tears flowing from eyes. (Usage: Charcoalize Mu'er until carbonized but retaining nature, combine with one liang of Equisetum ramosissimum [Muzei], grind into powder. Take two qian per dose, decoct with clarified rice wash water for oral administration.) Blood-injected leg sores. (Usage: Take five qian each of Sang'er [Mulberry Fungus], Chu'er [Paper Mulberry Fungus], and Niusi Gu [Cow Dung Mushroom]; mix with three qian of fetal hair ash—male fetus ash for male patients, female fetus ash for female patients; grind into powder, apply with oil or dry application.) Bloody dysentery and hematochezia. (Usage: Stir-fry five qian of Mu'er, grind, and take with wine.) Various toothaches and other symptoms. (Usage: Use equal parts of Schizonepeta [Jingjie], decoct in water, and rinse frequently.) However, its nature is yin-damp, growing on dead wood; it only harms by depleting essence and chilling the kidneys, lacking any function of warming the spleen and benefiting the stomach. The *Shennong Bencao Jing* states it benefits qi, prevents hunger, lightens the body, and strengthens willpower; this is likely mere praise, is it truly so?
(Zhiyang records) Mogu (Agaricus bisporus/Common Mushroom) clears the diaphragm and resolves phlegm.
Mogu (specifically enters the Stomach, Intestines, and Lungs). It originates from various trees such as mulberry and paper mulberry, buried in soil, and grown by irrigating with rice wash water. Its taste is sweet, and its qi is cold. (*Zhengyao* states: Toxic. Li Shizhen states: Non-toxic.) It is white, soft, hollow inside, resembling an unopened Hosta flower. Some resemble sheep's tripe or honeycomb pores, hence another name "Yangdu Cai" (Sheep Tripe Vegetable). Its taste resembles chicken, hence another name "Jimu Gu" (Chicken Leg Mushroom). All these belong to the same category as Xiangxun (Fragrant Mushroom) and other fungi. However, while Xiangxun is white and neutral in nature, Mogu is white and cold in nature. Xiangxun benefits stomach qi, relieves hunger, and treats urinary incontinence; Mogu regulates qi, resolves phlegm, and also benefits the intestines and stomach. Nevertheless, both have moist bodies and stagnant natures; excessive consumption obstructs internal qi and may induce diseases, not just Mogu alone.
