The controversial word came up in the annual finals of Chinese Character Dictation Conference.

At the Chinese Character Dictation Conference, examiner Li Zimeng's answer to the question "jī cōng jūn" was announced as "鸡枞菌" (鸡枞菌), but Biting and Chewing believes that both the pronunciation and the announced answer are wrong. The correct way to write the word is "鸡'土从'菌", because it grows in the soil, so the word is from "土".

The problem was pointed out last month by Biting and Chewing Characters, and CCTV's response was that both spellings were correct, and that "鸡枞" was the modern way of writing it, and that according to the customary composition of the Chinese character, "木" could be reanalyzed as a symbol of meaning. According to the customary composition of Chinese characters, the character "木" can be reanalyzed to mean "plant" or "fungus" in general. But the editorial board of Biting and Chewing Words argues that in the Chinese character system, the character for wood has never been used to indicate fungus.

Huang Anjing said in an interview, "In response to CCTV's response, we later had a public response. The purpose of 'Chinese Character Dictation Conference' is to let the people of China use Chinese characters correctly for the purpose of standardization, so it should be based on the standardized toolkit, not on the folk writing style.
