U+83C7 "菇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that primarily refers to a type of mushroom or fungus, commonly used in words like "香菇" (xiānggū, meaning shiitake mushroom) and "蘑菇" (mógū, meaning mushroom in general). It is composed of the radical "艹" (grass radical) suggesting its botanical or plant related nature, combined with the phonetic component "姑" which provides a clue to its pronunciation as "gū".
