Agreed, it has to be poetic license.

I was treated to a 'fungi' buffet recently with the largest assortment of
mushrooms I've ever seen - among the exotic names are 'Chicken Thigh'
mushrooms & 'Monkey Head' mushrooms, and then there were the regular ones
such as 'Golden Needle' mushrooms, 'Cloud Ear' mushrooms...

definitely a good measure of poetic license here...

Some called it 'Niu Xin Tuo' - a little confusing - a tuo-shaped tea that

I can't comment on the similarities. It also looks like a mushroom too.

I've eaten a number of cow hearts (not to mention dissecting one in
7th-grade science class), as well as a few zillion mushrooms. It's hard to
imagine a shape that would resemble both of them. Maybe poetic license?
