This book is an expanded translation from the original text, intended for Chinese medical workers. Approximately 140 species are described in the text, all with black and white photos or lines drawings. Information about each fungus is organized in the following headings:

Unfortunately the English is atrocious, especially the descriptions under ‘nature and actions’ and indications. Here’s an example:

Also, the information on taxonomy is outdated in many cases, and many species are now known by different names. Despite these limitations, it is a useful compendium of information, and much of the information about the use of fungi in Traditional Chinese Medicine will be derived from this book.
