This forms after Poria. Immortal formulas mention only Poria, not Fushen. Since their therapeutic effects are similar, using it causes no objection.
[Note:]
Maxillaria (Madao) is an assistant herb for Poria; there is no herb named "Majian". It is likely that the cursive script for "Jian" resembled "Dao", leading scribes to misread it as "Jian". Tao Hongjing misunderstood this, claiming it was Majing (Horse Stem), which is erroneous. There is now Poria in large mountains, white and solid but small in size, no longer adopted. The best grade comes from Huashan, extremely large in shape. There is also some in the southern mountains of Yongzhou, but inferior to that from Huashan.
