    Coriolus versicolor, also known as turkey-tail mushroom, is a fungus in the Polyporaceae family. In Japan, this medicinal mushroom is widely used alongside conventional cancer treatments. Polysaccharide K (PSK) and protein-bound polysaccharide (PSP) are components of this mushroom that may be a good treatment for certain types of cancer.

Function

For hundreds of years, Asian herbal medicine practitioners have used Coriolus versicolor to support the immune and respiratory systems. Over the last decade, scientists have begun to validate its medicinal value, especially with cancer patients. In one study, participants who had had stomach cancer tumors removed were divided into three groups. For one year, one group took 0.105 ounces (3 grams) of PSK alone, one group underwent only chemotherapy, and the third group had both chemotherapy and took 0.105 ounces (3 grams) of PSK. At the five-year mark, the group that received chemotherapy and PSK had the highest survival rate.
