Wild Lotus Root?

Wild Lotus Root

This is what i saw lying on the kitchen floor first thing this morning. I asked my MIL what it is and she told me it’s Sang Lin Ngau. In English, it literally means “Wild Lotus Root”. Have you seen anything like this before? Believe you me, i’ve never. She told me it makes a good nourishing soup, especially beneficial to the elderly.

It’s all cut up and in the crockpot now. I can see that she’s added wolfberries, red dates and pork ribs to it. I hope the soup turns out sweet and the kids will drink it. I’d like to know what this is called. Please….. i need an answer desperately!!!!!
