How did the history of Yanshou fungus come about

Zhang Zhongjing said: Black fungus with red color and those born on the back should not be eaten. According to "Sheng Sheng Bian": Willow moths nourish the stomach, while black fungus weakens the essence. It is said that the moths on the old willow tree can nourish the stomach and regulate qi when eaten, while the fungus is born from rotten wood and obtains yin qi, which is harmful to the essence and kidneys

Food conflict:

Ear fungus should not be eaten together with snails. From the perspective of food properties, cold snails and smooth ear fungus are not conducive to digestion, so the two should not be eaten together

People with hemorrhoids should not eat black fungus and wild chickens together. Wild chickens have small toxins, and eating them together can easily induce hemorrhoid bleeding
