Poria cocos collection
Wild Poria cocos is generally taken in masson pine forest from July to march of the next year.
The ground with Poria cocos generally has the following characteristics:
There are cracks in the ground around the stumps in the pine forest, which makes an empty sound when knocked.
There are white hyphae on the ground near the pine tree (in the form of powder white film or powder white gray).
After the stump head is rotten, there are black and red horizontal cracks.
After light rain, the area around the tree stump dries quickly, or there is no grass.
After the Poria cocos is unearthed, wash the soil and pile it in a windless place in the corner of the house. It can also be stored in a tile jar. First lay a layer of pine wool or straw under it, and then lay the Poria cocos and straw layer by layer. The top is covered with thick gunny bags to make it sweat and release water. Then take it out, wipe off the water drops, spread it in a cool place, and sweat after the surface is dry. Repeat this for 3 ~ 4 times until the surface shrinks and the skin color turns brown, and then place it in a cool and dry place to dry until it is completely dry, that is, Poria cocos.
Cut it wet after sweating, or take dry Poria cocos and soak it in water. The white part of Poria cocos sclerotium is cut into thin slices or small squares, which is white Poria cocos; The cut off black skin is Poria cocos skin; The red part under the cortex of Poria cocos is red Poria cocos; The white part with pine roots, cut into square slices, is Poria. All finished products after cutting should be dried in the shade, not on the Kang, and should be placed in a cool place, not too dry or ventilated To avoid loss of viscosity or cracks.
