Related discussions
1. “Compendium”: Poria cocos has a light exudation, and the Qi can rise and fall, so it can relieve abdominal pain and facilitate urination. It has the same effect as Poria cocos, but it is not as good as Poria cocos when used as a tonic.
2. “Compendium of Materia Medica”: Polyporus cocos is a medicine that exudes moisture, dilutes water channels, and decomposes yin and yang. This medicine tastes sweet and slightly bitter. Although the bitterness is reduced, the sweetness and lightness can penetrate and disperse. When it rises, it can descend, and when it descends, it can rise. Therefore, it is good at opening up the internal organs and distributing the qi between the outer yang and the inner yin to facilitate urination. Therefore, in ancient times, it was used to treat malaria and relieve poisonous poisons. Zhen’s prescription treats typhoid, febrile disease, and severe fever. It can induce sweating and expel evil spirits. This method helps the yang energy to escape from the outside. Zhang’s prescription treats fullness, swelling, acute pain in the abdomen, annoyance in the heart, malaria, dysentery, and diarrhea. This is because the qi of Li Yin is released inside. Zhang Zhongjing treats those with Taiyang disease, who have floating pulse, fever, quenched thirst and difficulty in urination, use Wuling Powder to induce sweating; those who are thirsty and want to drink water but then vomit again are called Shui Ni, use Wuling Powder to stop vomiting; Cold cough in winter, combined with cold and heat like malaria, is called phlegm wind. Use Wuling Powder to treat the cough. These three methods all focus on the magical function of Polyporus cocos to open up the internal organs and differentiate yin and yang.
3. “Pharmaceutical Meaning”: Polyporus cocos has a light taste, and is mainly used for osmosis. It enters the spleen to open water channels and is used to treat watery and damp diarrhea, relieve stranguria and dehumidification, eliminate edema, and treat jaundice. It is the most effective. Therefore, Yun and Amber Same merit. But it cannot be used as the main agent. The tonic medicine is to strengthen the spleen, the diarrhea medicine is to regulate the spleen, the warming medicine is used to warm the spleen, and the cooling medicine is used to clear the spleen.
4. “Changsha Medical Explanation”: “Porus cocos exudes water, and is more effective than Poria cocos. However, the nature of water requires a well-organized civil system, and it cannot walk alone. Polyporus cocos powder can diuresis, and Atractylodes can dry out damp soil. ; Zhuling decoction can benefit water by using donkey-hide gelatin to clear wind and wood; Wuling can benefit water by using atractylodes to dry soil, and cinnamon twig can benefit water; eight flavors can benefit water by using cinnamon twig to reach wood, and rehmannia glutinosa can clear wind; People who seek benefits from pigs, Fu, Hua, and Ze may not be able to achieve great results.
5. “Materia Medica Seeking Truth”: Polyporus cocos is used in all prescriptions such as Si Ling, Wu Ling, etc. Although its properties are similar to Alisma, it also enters the bladder and kidney meridian, relieves heat and removes dampness, and promotes orifices and diuresis, but the water is eliminated. The spleen will be dry, and when the water is exhausted, the qi will go away; although Alisma is the same as diuresis, the nature is also similar to dryness, but it is mostly salty, and there is still moisturizing. Although the luster cures fire, the nature also damages qi, but moistening can nourish yin, and there is still moisturizing. Make up for it. Therefore, pig (ling) must be combined with Alisma and used together, then the moisturizing and dryness will be appropriate and there will be no bias. As for Poria, although it is a diuretic, it can be used to remove dampness. However, Poria (Ling) enters the Qi and goes up, and then enters the blood and goes down. It is also used with Alisma to diuresis and swelling, and to treat malaria and dysentery. It is considered to be a summer heat drug. The evil dampness and heat are internally closed, and they all take this as the need for propaganda. The ancients have said that clearing and promoting urination is nothing like this. Therefore, the yin-nourishing medicine can stop Alisma without using Polyporus cocos, which is why it is called this ear. However, this medicine is specially designed to draw water, and body fluids are easily consumed. Taking it for a long time may cause damage to the eyes.

Authentic production area
Mainly produced in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, Yunnan and other places.
Growth environment
Grows on the ground next to tree roots in the forest or next to rotten wood piles.
Growth practice
Grows wild in secondary forests of mountains at an altitude of 1000-2000m. It grows mostly on sunny slopes in the rainy south of my country, and mostly on shady or semi-sunny slopes in the north. The sclerotium begins to germinate when the ground temperature at 5cm is 8-9℃. When the monthly average ground temperature is 14-20℃, the new ling grows fast and germinates more. The fruiting body is formed at 22-25℃. Polyporus umbellatus is suitable for growing in loose, breathable, high-humus, fertile and slightly acidic sandy loam with a soil water content of 30%-50%. Polyporus and Armillaria mellea live in symbiosis, so the companion plants of Polyporus mellea are related to the saprophytic and parasitic trees of Armillaria mellea, and often live together with oak, birch, maple, oak, elm, poplar, willow, maple, Ligustrum lucidum and other tree species.
Cultivation technology
1. Semi-wild cultivation: Select shrub forests and firewood forests where Armillaria mellea can grow, and timber forests and economic forests should not be selected. In southern Shanxi, it is advisable to select an altitude of 1000-1500m, flat terrain or trench land and gentle slopes of about 15°, and fertile sandy loam soil. First, the Armillaria mellea branches should be cultivated. The roots and wood segments where Armillaria mellea grow can be dug as fungus species, or artificially cultivated Armillaria mellea tertiary production species can be used to cultivate fungus branches. Select fresh branches of Fagaceae plants and other broad-leaved trees with a diameter of 1-2cm, and cut them obliquely into 10cm small sections. Dig a cultivation pit with a diameter of 50-60cm and a depth of 30cm, spread a layer of leaves at the bottom of the pit, and cover a thin layer of soil between the cut branches. Then repeat this method to place several layers on top. Generally, 5-7 layers can be placed in each pit. Finally, cover the top of the pit with 3-5cm of soil, and cover the soil with leaves. Water frequently to keep moisture. After about two months, the branches are covered with honey fungus hyphae, which are called branches. Then select branches with a diameter of 2-3cm and cut them into short sections of about 30cm long as strains. According to the method of cultivating branches, expand and cultivate the mushroom materials to accompany the planting of Polyporus. Polyporus strains should choose vigorous, gray-brown fresh Polyporus as seed Polyporus. Dig a small hole about 10cm deep next to the bushes. The hole should have tree roots and crisscrossing hair roots. First, spread a layer of wet leaves at the bottom of the hole, put a section of mushroom material next to the tree roots, and put Polyporus sclerotia between the tree roots and the mushroom material. Put 100-250g of seed Polyporus in each hole, then cover a layer of moist leaves and fill it with soil. Cover the top of the hole with a thicker layer of leaves.
2. Field management: After planting, the Polyporus should not be turned over and livestock should be avoided from trampling. In case of drought in summer, water can be used for irrigation. Cover the top of the hole with a layer of leaves every spring to reduce soil moisture evaporation, replenish soil organic matter, and improve soil fertility.
