石耳,又名石木耳或岩菇,为地衣门植物,是菌、藻共生体。外形似木耳,扁平叶状,略呈椭圆形,边缘有不规则的浅裂,在下面的中央部伸出短柄,着生于岩石上。我国中部及南部各省均有分布。《本草纲目拾遗》(卷八)中记载:石耳“作羹饷客最为珍品”、“以鸡汤下食滑脆鲜美味最香甘为山菜第一”。目前庐山等地餐馆,仍以“石耳肉片汤”等作为名菜。 Stone ear, also known as stone fungus or rock mushroom, is a lichen gate plant that is a symbiosis of bacteria and algae. The shape is like fungus, flat leafy, slightly elliptic, with irregular lobes at the edges, and a short handle at the center of the lower part, born on the rock. There are distributions in the central and southern provinces of China. “Supplements in Compendium of Materia Medica” (Volume VIII) records that: Shih-ear is “the most treasured product of hackers” and “the most fragrant and delicious taste of chicken soup is the most delicious for mountain vegetables.” At present, restaurants such as Laoshan are still famous dishes such as “Shi ear meat soup”.
