Thanks Tanay - I am really thrilled to know about it's medicinal importance - specially when I searched google with the scientific name and found it's use for cancer treatment:
some extracts from google search : " is a mushroom widely used in Japan as an adjunct to biomedical cancer treatments. In terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Coriolus is said to clear dampness, phelgm and heat. Over 400 clinical studies have demonstrated that Coriolus polysaccharide extracts have immune modulating and anti-tumor effects." "Coriolus Versicolor is Potent Mushroom for Fighting Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases Being attracted by it's layer-by-layer colours, I took a snapshot and just for curiosity, I posted to this group. The knowledge I get is amazing.
