Description
"Coriolus" (Trametes versicolor), also known as Turkey Tail, is a fungus that thrives on decaying wood, valued for its fan-shaped structure. Rich in polysaccharopeptides and beta-glucans, it engages with biochemical pathways that regulate immune function and cellular defense. This fungus also modulates metabolic processes that support microbial balance and digestive stability. Additionally, it promotes enzymatic functions involved in systemic regulation. With its diverse bioactive profile, Coriolus remains a cornerstone of functional mycology and herbal applications.
