【主治】醒神，治酒积（时珍。《太和山志》）。
（《日用》）
【释名】天花菜。
【集解】瑞曰∶天花菜出山西五台山。形如松花而大，香气如蕈，白色，食之甚美。
时珍曰∶五台多蛇蕈，感其气而生，故味美而无益，其价颇珍。段成式《酉阳杂俎》云
∶代北有树鸡，如杯 ，俗呼胡孙眼。其此类欤？

点茶、烹肉皆宜。气味皆似香蕈，而不及其风韵也。又广西横州出雷菌，遇雷过即生，须疾
采之，稍迟则腐或老，故名。作羹甚美，亦如鸡 之属。
此数种其价并珍。

[Collected Explanations] Li Shizhen stated: Mo Gu grows in Shandong, Huaibei, and other places. Mulberry and paper mulberry woods are buried in the soil and irrigated with rice wash water; after the mushrooms sprout, they are harvested. They are two to three cun long, small at the base and large at the top, white and soft, hollow inside, resembling unopened Hosta flowers. Commonly known as "Chicken Leg Mo Gu" because its taste resembles chicken. Another variety resembles a sheep's stomach with honeycomb-like pores, named Yangdu Cai (Sheep Stomach Vegetable).

[Names] Ji Jun (Chicken Fungus).
Li Shizhen stated: People in the South call it Ji Jun, all saying its taste resembles chicken.
[Collected Explanations] Li Shizhen stated: Ji Jun originates from Yunnan, growing in sandy areas among Ding Xun (a type of mushroom). It has a tall stem and a large cap. Locals harvest and dry it to send far away as a local specialty. It is suitable for brewing tea and cooking meat. Its taste and aroma resemble aromatic mushrooms, though less refined. Additionally, Hengzhou in Guangxi produces Lei Jun (Thunder Mushroom), which appears immediately after thunderstorms and must be harvested quickly; otherwise, it rots or becomes tough, hence the name. It is very delicious in soups and belongs to the category of Ji Jun.
The prices of these several varieties are all precious.
