【白菌】
味道咸、甘，性平或微温，有小毒。主治心痛，温暖中焦，去除长虫、白癣、蛲（音饶）虫，蛇咬毒，症瘕及各类寄生虫，疽疮，去除蛔虫、寸白虫，治疗恶疮。又名卢。产于东海池泽及渤海章武地区。八月采集，阴干。（与酒同用效果更佳，忌与鸡蛋同食。）
陶隐居说：北方没有这种菌。形状像菌类，传说由鹳鸟粪便化生，又名鹳菌。研成粉末，与猪肉一起食用，可以驱除蛔虫。《唐本草》注解说：菌，现在出产于渤海芦苇荡中的咸卤之地，是自然生长的菌类。也并非由鹳鸟粪便化生。这种菌颜色白而轻虚，内外质地相似，与其他菌类不同。治疗蛔虫有效。臣禹锡等人考证《蜀本图经》说：现在出产于沧州。秋雨适时就有，天旱或多雨时就稀少。晒干的质量好。《药性论》说：菌，味道苦。能消除腹内冷痛，治疗白秃疮。
《食疗》说：菌子会引发五脏风邪，阻滞经络，诱发痔疮，导致昏沉多睡，背膊和四肢无力。另外，菌子有好几种，槐树上生长的质量好。野田中生长的，恐怕有毒，能致人死亡。另外，容易引发冷气。《外台秘要》记载：治疗蛔虫攻心如针刺般疼痛，吐出清汁。芦一两研末，与羊肉混合，早晨一次服下效果佳。《金匮玉函》说：仰卷且呈红色的菌不可食用。木耳呈青色及仰面生长的，不可食用。
【白芨】
味道苦、辛，性平或微寒，无毒。主治痈肿恶疮、败疽，损伤的肌肉，胃中邪气，贼风鬼击，中风瘫痪肢体不收，去除白癣疥虫。又名甘根，又名连及草。产于北山川谷，以及冤句和越山。（紫石英为其使药，恶理石，畏李核、杏仁。）
陶隐居说：附近道路处处都有。叶子像杜若，根部形状像菱角米，节间有毛。方剂中使用也少，可以用来制作糊状物。《唐本草》注解说：此物，山野之人患手足皲（音军）裂，嚼碎后涂抹有效。臣禹锡等人考证《蜀本》说：反乌头。七月果实成熟，黄黑色，冬季凋谢。根像菱角，三角，白色，角头生芽。现在出产于申州。二月、八月采挖根部使用。吴氏云神农认为味苦；黄帝认为味辛；李氏认为大寒；雷公认为味辛，无毒。茎叶像生姜、藜芦，十月华，直立向上，紫红色，根白相连，二月、八月、九月采集。《药性论》说：白芨，作为使药。能治疗结热不消，主治阴部痿软，治疗面部黑斑，使人肌肤光滑。日华子说：味甘，止惊邪血邪，痫疾，赤眼症结，发背瘰疬，肠风痔漏，刀箭创伤，跌打损伤，温热疟疾，血痢，汤火烫伤，生肌止痛，风湿痹痛。
《图经》说：白芨，产于北山川谷，以及冤句和越山，现在江淮、河、陕、汉、黔各州都有，生长在石山上。春天生苗，长约一尺。像棕榈及藜芦，茎端生一个台，叶子两指宽，青色。夏天开紫花。七月结实至熟，黄黑色。到冬天叶子凋谢。根像菱角米，有三角，白色，角端生芽。二月、七月采挖根部。现在医生治疗金疮不愈及痈疸方中多用之。
《经验方》：治疗鼻衄不止严重者。白芨研为粉末，用唾液调和涂在山根上，立即停止。
《衍义》：白芨，文字内容见白蔹条下。

Harvesting: Collected in August, dried in the shade.
Precautions/Interactions: Best used with wine; incompatible with eggs.
Tao Hongjing stated: This mushroom is not found in the north. Its shape resembles mushrooms, and it is said to be transformed from stork droppings, hence another name "Stork Mushroom." When ground into powder and eaten with pork, it can expel roundworms.
Note from Tang Bencao: The mushroom is now produced in the saline lands of the reed marshes in Bohai, growing naturally. It is not transformed from stork droppings. Its color is white and light/puffy, with similar texture inside and out, differing from other mushrooms. It is effective in treating roundworms.
Chen Yuxi et al. verified the Shu Ben Tu Jing: It is now produced in Cangzhou. It appears when autumn rain is timely, but is scarce during drought or excessive rain. Sun-dried ones are of good quality.
Yao Xing Lun states: The mushroom tastes bitter. It can eliminate cold pain in the abdomen and treat white alopecia capitis (tinea capitis).
Shi Liao states: Mushrooms can trigger wind pathogens in the five zang organs, obstruct meridians, induce hemorrhoids, cause drowsiness, and lead to weakness in the back, shoulders, and limbs. Furthermore, there are several types of mushrooms; those growing on locust trees are of good quality. Those in wild fields may be toxic and fatal. They also tend to generate cold qi.
Wai Tai Mi Yao records: For treating roundworm attack causing heart pain like stabbing and vomiting clear fluid. Take one liang of [Bai Jun/Lu], grind into powder, mix with mutton meat, and take all at once in the morning for best results.
Jin Gui Yu Han states: Mushrooms that curl upward and are red should not be eaten. Green wood ear mushrooms and those growing upward should not be eaten.

Interactions: Zi Shi Ying (Quartz) acts as an assistant herb; incompatible with Li Shi (Gypsum); adverse reaction with plum pits and apricot kernels.
Tao Hongjing stated: It is available everywhere along nearby roads. Leaves resemble Du Ruo (Pollia japonica), roots resemble water chestnuts, with hairs between nodes. It is rarely used in prescriptions but can be made into a paste.
Note from Tang Bencao: People in mountainous areas suffering from cracked hands and feet find it effective to chew and apply this substance.
Verified by Chen Yuxi et al. from Shu Ben: It is contrary to Wu Tou (Aconite).
Fruits mature in July, turning yellow-black, and wither in winter. Roots resemble water chestnuts, triangular, white, with buds at the corners. Currently produced in Shenzhou. Roots are harvested in February and August.
Wu Shi attributes: Shen Nong considered it bitter; Huang Di considered it pungent; Li Shi considered it greatly cold; Lei Gong considered it pungent and non-toxic. Stems and leaves resemble Ginger and Veratrum, growing straight up in October, purple-red in color, with white connected roots. Harvested in February, August, and September.
Yao Xing Lun states: Bai Ji serves as an assistant herb. It can treat stagnant heat that does not dissipate, mainly treats flaccidity of the genitals, treats facial melasma, and makes skin smooth.
Ri Hua Zi stated: Taste is sweet. It stops fright, evil qi, and blood pathologies; treats epilepsy, red eye masses, neck lumps (scrofula), intestinal wind and hemorrhoids, knife and arrow wounds, traumatic injuries, warm-heat malaria, bloody dysentery, scalds and burns, promotes flesh regeneration, relieves pain, and treats wind-bi (rheumatism).
Tu Jing states: Bai Ji is produced in mountain valleys in the north, as well as in Yuanju and Yue mountains. Now it is found in Jianghuai, He, Shan, Han, and Qian prefectures, growing on rocky mountains. Sprouts emerge in spring, about one chi long. Resembles palm and Veratrum, with a single cluster at the stem tip, leaves two fingers wide, green. Flowers purple in summer. Fruits mature in July, turning yellow-black. Leaves wither in winter. Roots resemble water chestnuts, triangular, white, with buds at the tips. Roots are harvested in February and July. Current physicians use it frequently in formulas for treating unhealed traumatic wounds and carbuncles/jaundice.
Jing Yan Fang: For severe cases of persistent epistaxis (nosebleed). Grind Bai Ji into powder, mix with saliva, and apply to the shan gen (root of the nose). Bleeding stops immediately.
