(Recorded in the Lower Category of *Bie Lu*)
[Names] Mapibo (pronounced "pi"), Mapibi (pronounced "pi"), Huigu (from *Bencao Gangmu*), Niushigou.
[Collection and Explanation] *Bie Lu* states: Mapibo grows in places in vegetable gardens that have been rotting for a long time.
Hongjing says: It is what the common people call Mapibo. It is purple, hollow and soft, resembling a dog's lung; when flicked, powder comes out.
Zongbing says: It grows in damp places and on rotting wood, harvested in summer and autumn. Some are as large as a dou (a unit of volume), others as small as a sheng or spoon. As mentioned by Han Yuhui regarding "Niusou and Mapibo."
[Processing] Shizhen says: When using raw Mapibo, spread it open with a piece of raw cloth, rub the Mapibo over it, catch the powder below with a plate, and use the collected powder.
[Flavor and Properties] Pungent, neutral, non-toxic.
[Indications] Malignant sores and horse scabies (*Bie Lu*). Applying to various sores is very effective (Hongjing). Remove the membrane, mix and knead with honey, add a little water to mix, and swallow while holding in the mouth to treat Houmi (sore throat) and throat pain (Zongbing). Clears the lungs, disperses blood, resolves heat toxins (Shizhen).
[Innovation and Elucidation] Shizhen says: Mapibo is light and hollow, a herb entering the Upper Jiao Lung Meridian. Therefore, it can treat various diseases such as Lung heat, cough, Houmi, epistaxis, and aphonia. Li Dongyuan used it in Puji Xiaodu Yin to treat Dabing (big head disease) with difficulty in the throat.
