Coriolus

The Coriolus is found worldwide on stumps and dead hardwood. This handsome mushroom is also known for its decorative properties. Since the Coriolus is not suitable as an edible mushroom due to its tough fruiting bodies, this mushroom is only grown for medicinal purposes.

The health-promoting ingredients of Coriolus consist of a balanced mixture of minerals, trace elements, amino acids - also essential amino acids, vitamins and enzymes. In addition, it contains the more specific acting polysaccharides, polypeptides and glucans, especially a number of highly bioactive beta-glucans. Polysaccharides (multiple sugars) and glucans. These are present in practically all cells, but the two protein-bound polysaccharides PSK (Krestin) and PSP were extracted from the Coriolus. These are substances that have not yet been found in any other medicinal mushroom.
