This is due to its attractive appearance, which makes it a sought-after decorative object in addition to its use as a medicinal mushroom. It has rosette-shaped, flat caps that can take on a variety of marbled colors, from brown to greenish and reddish to bluish hues. In Asia and English-speaking countries, the Coriolus is also known as Yun Zhi, Kawaratake, turkey tail, and bracket fungus.
Origin, cultivation and use of the Coriolus mushroom
The Coriolus mushroom is a true cosmopolitan: Due to its exceptional adaptability, it thrives in the wild worldwide on dead deciduous trees, but also on wooden fences or stacked wood. In Germany, it is most commonly found on common beech wood. The butterfly bracket fungus is a saprobiotic, meaning it decomposes dead wood and thus makes an important contribution to the health of our forests. But the Coriolus mushroom is also a valuable ally for the well-being of the human organism. As a medicinal mushroom, it has played a central role in Chinese and South American traditions for centuries.
Ingredients of the Coriolus mushroom
In Europe, the butterfly bracket fungus is only gradually gaining recognition as a medicinal mushroom. Accordingly, the full spectrum of Coriolus's constituents has not yet been scientifically researched. In addition to a high content of various minerals, vitamins, and trace elements, two important active substances have already been identified: the protein-bound polysaccharides PSK and PSP.
