Spores are oval, smooth and colorless. Polyporus is the sclerotium of the fungus Polyporaceae plant Polyporus sclerotium, often parasitic on the trunk or root of maple, oak, birch, linden, etc. Li Shizhen said, "Polyporus has the same function as Poria cocos in light of infiltration... but it is not as good as poria cocos in tonic." Polyporus cocos is distributed in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and Hubei in China , Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan. It grows in slope mountainous areas at an altitude of 500-1500 meters, in wild forests on slopes that are half shade and half sunny, and grows under shallow soil with irregular leaves and impurities.

       1. "The Classic": "Mainly treat malaria, benefit waterways."

       5. "Introduction to Medicine": "Treating heat stroke and quenching thirst."
       6. "Compendium": "open interstitial stranguria, cure stranguria, swelling, beriberi, white turbidity, leukorrhea, stranguria during pregnancy, dysuria."

       Discussions of each:
       1. "Materia Medica Yanyi": "Polyporus has a lot of merits in running water, and if taken for a long time, it will damage the kidney qi and faint the eyes."
       2. "Medicine Heart Method": "Polyporus, bitter to relieve stagnation, sweet to help yang, light to benefit orifices, so it can dehumidify and facilitate urination."
       3. "Compendium": "Polyporus is light infiltrated, the qi rises and can fall, so it can open the interstices and facilitate urination. It has the same function as Poria, but it is not as good as Fuqin when used as a tonic."
       4. "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Polyporus, penetrates dampness, improves water channels, and is a medicine that decomposes yin and yang. This medicine tastes sweet and slightly bitter. Although the bitterness drops, the sweetness and lightness can infiltrate and benefit and disperse. It can rise and fall. It descends and rises, so it is good at opening the interstitial muscles, separating the qi of the external yang and the internal yin to facilitate urination, so the ancients ruled malaria. Zhen's prescription mainly treats typhoid fever and severe fever. It can sweat and expel evil. This division benefits the external yang The qi is outside. Zhang’s prescription treats abdominal fullness, swelling and acute pain, remorse, malaria, dysentery and miasma, and this divides the internal yin qi inside. Zhang Zhongjing treats Taiyang disease with floating pulse, fever, thirst and difficulty urinating For those who suffer from cold and cough in winter, combined with cold and heat such as malaria, it is called phlegm wind, and Wuling powder is used to calm their cough. These three methods all focus on Polyporus, which can reach the skin. Principle, the wonderful function of dividing yin and yang."
       5. "Pharmaceuticals and Medicines": "Polyporus has a light taste, and the light is mainly for infiltration. It enters the spleen to lead to water channels, and is used to treat water and diarrhea, relieve stranguria and dampness, eliminate edema, and treat jaundice. Amber has the same effect. But it can’t be used as the main ingredient, supplementing medicine to strengthen the spleen, leading laxative medicine to regulate the spleen, adjuvant warming medicine to warm the spleen, and cooling medicine to clear the spleen. Anyone with severe spleen deficiency may lose vitality, so be careful."
       6. "Compendium of Materia Medica": "There is a cloud in the prescription, if the dampness is in the spleen and stomach, you must use Polyporus and Alisma to separate it. According to Polyporus from Yang to smooth Yin, the so-called ascending and slightly descending in ancient times is the same as Yang." Alisma comes from yin to yang, and the ancient so-called sinking and sinking is yin. The two flavors are combined to separate yin and yang."
       7. "Changsha Yaojie": "Polyporus, infiltration and drainage, is faster than Poria cocos. But the nature of water is not developed by soil and wood, so it cannot go alone. Polyporus powder can improve water, and Atractylodes macrocephala can dry damp soil. Zhuling Decoction can benefit water from donkey-hide gelatin and Qingfengmu; Seeking to benefit the pig, Fu, Hua, and Ze people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve extraordinary results."
       8. "Materia Medica Seeking Truth": "Polyporus, all Silings, Wulings and other prescriptions are all used. Although the nature is similar to Alisma, it enters the bladder and kidney meridian, relieves heat and dampness, promotes orifices and diuresis, and the water disappears. The spleen will be dry, and the qi will go away when the water is exhausted; although Alisma diarrhea is the same as benefiting water, its nature is also dry, but it is mostly salty, and there is still moistening. There is tonic. Therefore, pigs must be used together with Alisma and diarrhea, so that moistening and dryness are evenly distributed, and there is no problem of partiality. As for poria cocos, although it is a penetrating agent, it can go away when there is dampness, but poria cocos enters the air and moves upward. Then it enters the blood and descends, and it is combined with Alisma diarrhea to reduce swelling, treat malaria and stop dysentery, etc. It is judged that it belongs to summer heat evil, damp heat and internal obstruction, all of which are used as the need for propaganda. Therefore, among the yin-nourishing medicines, there are only Alisma and Polyporus chinensis, which is called the ear. But this is only used to divert water, and the body fluid is easy to consume, and it will often damage the eyes if taken for a long time."
