mucus plugging
Regarding mucus/mucous plugging....Maybe this will clear things up:
MUCUS: Mucus is secreted by the mucous membranes. It helps to moisten, warm, and filter the air as it enters the nose. Notice, the different spellings of mucus and mucous. Mucous is the name of the tissue; mucus is the secretion that flows from the tissue.
Therefore, in my opinion, I would type mucus plugging....Even though it is being used as an adjective, the mucus is what is plugging up the works, not the mucous membrane tissue.
