Returning to my hometown to inherit three mountains: Don't stop me from raising pigs

Chapter 473 Phellinus mulberry

The midday sun shone through the window onto Gu Chang's face. He stretched and slowly opened his eyes.

After a simple wash, Gu Chang put on his clothes, walked out of the room, started the car, and set off according to the address Wang Xianye sent him.

After about thirty or forty minutes' drive, Gu Chang finally arrived at his destination.

This is a small mountain village southeast of Yutou Town. It is surrounded by mountains and has a very remote geographical location. Many of the mountains and forests are rarely visited by people.

Recently, Wang Xianye has been investigating this area.

After Gu Chang parked the car, a villager was already waiting at the entrance of the village to greet him.

Led by the villager, they followed the winding mountain road and soon found Wang Xianye, who was talking with several villagers.

"Hey! What's going on? Why are you calling me here in such a hurry?" Gu Chang said as he strode over.

His voice was so loud that it could be heard from far away.

Hearing the voice, Wang Xianye turned around with a smile on his face, "Are you here? You're pretty fast! Come here quickly!"

Gu Chang walked up to Wang Xianye and asked curiously, "What's the matter? You called me here so urgently, didn't you find something good?"

Wang Xianye smiled without saying anything, just pointed forward.

Gu Chang followed his gaze and found a huge mulberry tree in front of him.

"Look there!" Wang Xianye reminded.

Gu Chang observed the mulberry tree carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

It turned out that on this huge wild mulberry tree, there were many yellow plants growing. These plants were somewhat similar to Ganoderma lucidum, but not exactly the same.

Their shape is unique, just like giant human ears, with circles of outlines similar to tree rings on them.

Gu Chang asked in surprise: "Is this... Coriolus versicolor?"

He was a little unsure because this plant was so rare and Gu Chang didn't know much about it.

"That's right! This is Coriolus versicolor!" Wang Xianye's eyes were filled with excitement and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Gu Chang came forward curiously and observed the yellow object carefully: "Is this a Chinese medicinal herb?"

Wang Xianye nodded heavily: "That's right!"

Wang Xianye looked at Gu Chang with a gleam in his eyes, and began to introduce this precious Chinese medicinal material to him in detail.

"Phellinus igniarius is a large fungus that was discovered and used for medicinal purposes more than 2,000 years ago. Because its fruiting body is yellow-brown, it is called 'Phellinus igniarius'."

Gu Chang couldn't help but ask curiously: "Can this thing only grow on mulberry trees?"

Wang Xianye smiled and shook his head: "Of course not. In addition to mulberry trees, the fungal entities growing on willow trees, peach trees and lilac trees can all be called 'mulberry yellow'. However, only the 'mulberry yellow' grown on mulberry trees has the best quality."

Gu Chang nodded with sudden realization and continued to listen to Wang Xianye's explanation.

"According to the Dictionary of Chinese Medicine, mulberry yellow has a wide range of medicinal value and can be used to treat gynecological diseases such as hematuria, metrorrhagia, leucorrhea, and amenorrhea. It also has a significant effect on improving liver function and can be used to treat liver cirrhosis. Therefore, mulberry yellow is known as a very precious Chinese herbal medicine."

"The quality of the Coriolus versicolor here is very good?" Gu Chang asked with some doubt. He didn't know much about Coriolus versicolor, but from Wang Xianye's excited expression, he could tell that the Coriolus versicolor seemed very precious.

"That is definitely very high quality! Look at this mulberry wood, it is golden in appearance, similar to gold, and the color is uniform inside and out, and it has the unique aroma of mulberry wood."

Wang Xianye said excitedly, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"This kind of Coriolus versicolor is very rare and hard to see. The growth of Coriolus versicolor is accidental and usually only grows on old mulberry trees."

Wang Xianye continued, his voice full of emotion.

Gu Chang nodded and sighed in his heart, no wonder Wang Xianye was so excited, it turned out that he had discovered a treasure!

He couldn't help but ask curiously: "So, what is the value of this Coriolus versicolor?"

Wang Xianye smiled, with a hint of excitement in his eyes: "This high-quality Coriolus versicolor is in short supply in the market!"
