Now it is found everywhere; harvested fruits are split open and dried. Before use, remove the central core, lightly roast until fragrant, similar to how Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (Chenpi, Tangerine Peel) is prepared; aged specimens are preferred. The branches, stems, and bark of the Zhi Shu tree treat... [Text fragment].

It now comes from large trees in mountains near the capital. When fruits are freshly ripe but not dry, they are red, resembling Elaeagnus, and edible. Once dried, the peel is very thin; they should be used with the core... [Text fragment].
[Sangbaipí (Morus Alba Root Bark)]
Sweet in flavor, cold in nature, non-toxic. It treats internal injury, five labors, six extremes, emaciation, metrorrhagia, absent pulse, tonifies deficiency, and benefits Qi. It removes water-Qi from the Lungs, stops hemoptysis, relieves heat-thirst, edema, abdominal fullness, and distension, promotes diuresis, removes Taenia solium (pinworms/roundworms), and can be used for suturing wounds. Harvesting time is unrestricted. Specimens grown on soil surface are poisonous. (Duanmu, Guixin, and Maziren are its guiding herbs.) Leaves: Treat cold-heat, induce sweating. Juice: Resolves Wugong (centipede) toxicity. Sang'er (Fungus on Mulberry): Sweet in flavor, toxic.

Wumeier (Five-ear fungus): Name missing, tonifies Qi, prevents hunger, lightens the body, strengthens willpower. Grows in valleys of Jianwei. Harvested during the rainy season in the sixth lunar month, then sun-dried. East-growing Mulberry roots are easier to obtain, while those by rivers often grow out of soil and should not be trusted without verification. Sang'er, according to Dangu Fang, refers to a type of wood... also called Sangshang Jisheng (parasite on mulberry). This text mentions Wumeier but does not clarify what the other four woods are. Records indicate that old mulberry trees produce dry fungi, which can be yellow, red, or white; in heavy rains, soft and wet ones also appear. People harvest these to make pickles, and they have no medicinal value. (Xinxiu Bencao Vol. 141, Daguan Vol. 13, Zhenghe Vol. 315)
