Hoelen (scientific name, Poria cocos) belonging to the Polyporaceae family is a mushroom that is used for therapeutic purposes. This is a subterranean mushroom that is found growing on the roots of pine and some other trees around the globe. However, in several regions of the world this mushroom or fungus is consumed as a food item rather than a medicine. This was especially true during the 19th century, when the mushroom was called Tuckahoe in the eastern and southern regions of the United States. This herb derived its name Tuckahoe or Tuckahoe bread owing to the fact that each of the mushrooms may grow so big that it may weigh as much as 15 pounds to 20 pounds (around seven to nine kilograms) and could be pounded into bread flour. In fact, there is a very fascinating history regarding the use of this herb in North America. While the Native Indians collected the mushroom and used it to prepare bread, the early European settlers watched the locals dig out the mushroom from the ground and erroneously named it as the 'Indian potato'. Afterward, hoelen was used as a food for survival by the African slaves, who were struggling for freedom.
