Coriolus
Coriolus, also known as Trametes versicolor, is a type of fungus commonly found on decaying wood. It is characterized by its colorful, fan-shaped fruiting bodies, which can display a range of colors including brown, yellow, and green. This mushroom is often referred to as the "turkey tail" due to its resemblance to the feathers of a turkey.
Coriolus is notable for its potential health benefits, particularly in traditional medicine. It has been used in various cultures for its immune-boosting properties and is often studied for its possible role in supporting cancer treatments. The fungus contains polysaccharopeptides, which are believed to enhance immune function.
