Phellinus
Also known as: Phellinus linteus, meshima
Phellinus linteus is a wood-decaying mushroom used in Korean and Japanese traditional medicine. It contains polysaccharides and polyphenols studied in the lab, but clinical evidence in humans is almost absent.
What it is used for
- immune support – no reliable human evidence, only lab and animal data
- antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect – lab data only
Forms and how they differ
hot-water extract
usual form; polysaccharide content depends on the label
Pairs well with
Other functional mushrooms, vitamin D.
Do not combine / separate
Take care combining with immunosuppressants and blood thinners.
Watch out for
Not suitable in pregnancy or breastfeeding due to lack of data. With autoimmune disease, during cancer treatment or when taking medicines, consult your doctor.
Safety
Safety data are limited; do not exceed the label dose.
Practical tip
If you want a mushroom for immunity, beta-glucans from oyster mushroom or yeast are better studied.
