Trametes trogii photo and description

Contains immunostimulating polysaccharopeptides

Polysaccharopeptides are protein-bound polysaccharides (carbohydrates), which are found, for example, in the extract of turkey grass.

Krestin (PSK) and Polysaccharide Peptide (PSP) are two types of polysacharopeptides found in Trametess varicoloured ().

PSK and PSP have powerful immunomodulatory properties. They stimulate the immune response by both activating and inhibiting certain types of immune cells and suppressing inflammation.

For example, test-tube studies have shown that PSP increases monocytes, which are types of white blood cells that fight infection and boost immunity ().

PSK stimulates dendritic cells, which increase immunity to toxins and regulate the immune response. In addition, PSK activates specialized white blood cells called macrophages that protect your body from harmful pathogens such as certain bacteria ().

Due to their ability to naturally strengthen the immune system, PSP and PSK are commonly used as anti-cancer agents in combination with surgery, chemotherapy and / or radiation therapy in countries such as Japan and China ().

Other beneficial properties

In addition to the benefits listed above, multicolored trameteau may also help improve health in other ways:

May Reduce Inflammation: Trametez is rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids and phenols, which can reduce inflammation. Inflammation is associated with chronic conditions such as diabetes and some cancers ().
Antibacterial: In a test-tube study, Trametess extract inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella entericum, bacteria that can cause disease and infection ().
May Improve Athletic Performance: A study in mice showed that Trametus extract improves physical performance and reduces fatigue. In addition, mice that were fed Trameteau had lower blood sugar levels at rest and after exercise ().
May Improve Insulin Resistance: A study in rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus showed that trametus extract significantly lowered blood sugar and improved insulin resistance ().

Research on the beneficial properties of this medicinal mushroom is ongoing, and more information on its effects on the body may be found in the near future.

TRUTS AND OTHER WOOD-WORKING APHILLOPHORIC MUSHROOMS

In addition, typical T. pubescens and T. hirsuta differ significantly in the nature of the pile on the hats: T. hirsuta the hairs are arranged in tufts, hard and more or less brittle; at T. pubescens they are of various shapes, but are usually not tied in tight bunches, as a rule, they are more elastic. The main difference T. pubescens from T. hirsuta - pores that are thinner and less regular in the mature state.

f.068 Trametes pubescens - fluffy trametez (including T. velutina - covered trametez, 5-8)

Some mycologists recognize another species with pronounced pubescence on the cap. Trametes velutina - covered tramese. The diagnosis of this species differs in various manuals, and the species itself is most often considered synonymous. T. pubescens... Those mycologists who distinguish T. velutina, belong to this species mushrooms with small fruiting bodies and tender (often slightly pressed) tomentose pubescence of the caps, although these signs can often be uncorrelated. The small size of the fruit bodies can be associated with the size of the substrate (for example, such fruit bodies are often found on cherries, plums in the Non-Black Earth Region). To classify the mushroom as T. velutina it is necessary to make sure that the pores are thin-walled and uneven. Otherwise, we are dealing with a shallow albinistic form T. hirsuta.

Trametes versicolor - multicolored trametez and Trametes ochracea - ocher trametes

Trametes versicolor - multicolored trametez (multicolored tinder fungus). This beautiful tinder fungus is characterized by large clusters of fruiting bodies, which can be tiled or collected in rosettes. Hats are fan-shaped with a narrowed base, medium-sized, up to 8 cm in greatest dimension. The surface is velvety, concentric-zonal, the zones are painted in various shades of blue, gray, black, yellow-brown. The fabric is very thin, leathery, white. Hymenophore whitish to straw yellow with very short tubules, pores from rounded to angular 3-5 by 1 mm.

f.069 Trametes versicolor - multicolored trametez (multicolored tinder fungus)

This mushroom is an annual, dried fruit bodies rarely persist until next spring. Is growing T. versicolor on wood of many deciduous species, occasionally on conifers. It is also found on processed wood as a warehouse and house mushroom. Widespread species.

Trametes ochracea - ocher trametes. The fruiting bodies of this tinder fungus, very similar in appearance to T. versicolor, annuals, but often hibernating, sessile or prostrate-bent, with a hump at the base, with medium-sized caps, usually up to 7 cm in greatest dimension, leathery or leathery-cork. The surface is concentrically zoned, with zones alternating in color and pubescence (appressed and vertically pubescent or tomentose, sometimes completely naked). The zones themselves are somewhat blurred and gray and yellow-brown tones prevail here. The tissue is thin, white, somewhat darkening with age. The surface of the hymenophore is whitish to ocher-yellow, the tubules are short, up to 2 mm long. The pores are entire, from rounded to angular, 3-4 by 1 mm.

f.070 Trametes ochracea - ocher trametes

Is growing T. ochracea on dead and dead trunks, stumps and branches of many deciduous species, as an exception on conifers. Usually in groups, from very small to numerous clusters of tiled fruit chalk. More massive fruiting bodies often grow on large lumber and large stumps. This species is also found on treated wood.

Wedge "T. ochracea /T. versicolor”Can be distinguished as follows: - there is a dark-colored hump at the base, the zones are blurred - T. ochracea, - funnel-shaped, without hump at the base, clear zoning - T. versicolor.

Preparations based on multi-colored tramestones

As you have already seen, this mushroom has many healing properties, which means that a drug can be made on their basis. One of the most common is the immunomodulator Christine, which contains polysaccharides important for the body. This drug works effectively on inflammation that builds up in the body.

Also, on the basis of this mushroom, other means and preparations are made that effectively fight certain problems. The effectiveness of absolutely all drugs that contain the mushroom has been proven, confirmed, and there is also an appropriate permitting certificate.

Tinder fungus extract, which is contained in medicines, has anti-atherogenic activity, and is also absolutely non-toxic. Such a mushroom is most often used by patients in powder format, since this is the most convenient way that allows it to be stored compactly.

However, it all depends on the soil. If the mushroom grows in acidic and alkaline soils, then for sure, when a person eats it in a dosage that exceeds the indicated one, the patient can see hallucinations as a sound of such a verbal nature.

Tinder fungus is a real pearl of the forest, which at the same time hides in the foliage of old trees. Finding this mushroom is quite simple, for this it is enough to look up, to where the crown of the trees is located. Prefers darkness, which is why they climb high enough, and often it is difficult to see them.

We wish you a successful quiet hunt, however, it is still not recommended to use the tinder fungus for food, because it is not for nothing that this mushroom is called inedible. Surely, it contains some negative properties that will adversely affect your health.

Doubles and their differences

Trametes Trog is similar to the fruit bodies of its own species and some other tinder fungi.

Trametes is harsh-haired. Inedible, non-toxic. It can be recognized by small pores (0.3x0.4 mm).

Long bristly villi are white or creamy

Fragrant trametes. Inedible, not poisonous. Differs in the absence of pubescence on the cap, light, gray-white or silver color and a strong smell of anise.

Prefers loose poplar, willow or aspen

Gallic Coriolopsis. Inedible mushroom. The cap is pubescent, the spongy inner surface is dark-colored, the flesh is brown or brown.

It is easy to distinguish from Trog's trametess due to its darker color.

Antrodia. Inedible look. Their main difference is large-celled pores, sparse setae, white flesh.

This large genus includes varieties recognized as medicinal in the folk medicine of the East.

The healing properties of Trametes

The polysaccharide "caryolan" isolated from Тrametes versicolor not only attracted close attention of the medical world, but also proved its unique medicinal properties.Coriolanum turned out to be a very active antitumor substance, an order of magnitude higher than the already known "lentinan" isolated from shiitake mushrooms and second only to the polysaccharide complex of the Russian mushroom - Veselka ordinary

The peculiarity of the Coriolan polysaccharide action is the effect directly on the tumor cells, as well as indirectly - by increasing the cellular immunity. During preclinical testing of the antitumor index of Coriolanus polysaccharide, it showed the ability not only to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, but also to inhibit them! The most tangible results were obtained in sarcoma diseases (sarcoma cells practically do not respond to chemotherapy and the effects of any other agents).

Good results have been obtained with carcinomas of the breast, corpus uterus, prostate, colon and lungs (Tsukagoshi et al., 1984). Long-term remission was observed in melanomas. The action of Coriolanus is interesting in that it also acts on aggressive tumor cells, and removes the risk of metastases (Ebina et al., 1987b). The antitumor ability of PSC is especially active after all the measures taken in the treatment of cancer - surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy. In Japan, PSC is widely used as a rehabilitation complex aimed at eliminating the risk of developing metastases and as a restraining factor in the development of tumors and associated metastases in inoperable forms of oncology. (Tsukagoshi et al., 1984).

Trametes multicolored - description, where it grows, the poisonousness of the mushroom

Trametes multicolored is a tinder fungus, which has a peculiar structure of the fruiting body (resembles a strongly unfolded fan). Grows in fairly large groups. Instances in groups are arranged as sockets. These representatives of the tinder family, belonging to inedible species, have a solid set of useful properties: antibacterial, antiviral.

Description of the species

Multicolored trametez is a perennial mushroom, the maximum size is up to 90 mm in width and 50 mm in length. The shape of representatives of this species can be completely different, most often it is rounded. In fact, it is a parasite fungus that grows to the trunk of trees.

The surface of the fruit body of the trametess is rather delicate, characterized by many convolutions with different color shades - from yellowish to dirty brown. As a rule, the edges are slightly lighter than the central part of the cap. The color of the base of the fruit body is dark olive, the pulp has a pleasant aroma.

Procurement of raw materials

Trametes belongs to inedible types of mushrooms, most often it is collected for subsequent harvesting for medicinal purposes. The peak of fruiting and harvesting is from August to September inclusive.

Harvesting tramesto involves cutting off young specimens and then cleaning them. After that, a special heat treatment is performed - the mushrooms are dried, while the temperature in the oven should be no more and no less than the specified values (range from 50 to 60 degrees). Thoroughly dried raw materials, as a rule, are crushed to obtain a powdery mass, which is poured into an airtight container (container or package) and sterilized.

Trametes in traditional medicine

This type of mushroom is widely known in Asian countries and has long been used as a remedy in Chinese traditional medicine. This is due to the content of many useful components in the mushroom pulp: bioactive polysaccharides, peptides, glycoproteins, triterpenes, saturated fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins and trace elements.

Basically, raw materials obtained from this mushroom are used for the treatment of oncological diseases (malignant neoplasms). A decoction from ready-made raw materials is prepared directly for treatment.

Also, often in Asian countries, trametes is used to treat a fairly large number of infectious diseases and ailments of internal organs. For these purposes, special mushroom infusions are prepared.

In Japan, trametes is used to treat diabetes mellitus, hypertension, rheumatism and thrombosis. As a rule, a medicinal ointment is prepared from the mushroom.

Application in traditional medicine

In Japan and China, raw materials from this type of mushroom are used as one of the components of the complex treatment of oncological diseases. This is because the use of trametess as a medicine helps make atypical cells more sensitive to the effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Also, drugs based on this type of mushroom help in suppressing the inflammatory processes that accompany some ailments.

Contraindications and what to consider

However, you should not use raw materials obtained from the fruit bodies of trameta for the treatment of children, as well as women during the period of childbearing and lactation.

Any use of this remedy must always be agreed with the attending physician. Do not forget that any medicine can bring both benefits and harm to the body.

Interesting fact

Trametes is also known under such names as Mist Mushroom, Wungji, Kawaratake.
In Asian countries, to this day, trametes is used to treat inflammatory processes of the respiratory system.
The most valuable mushroom is considered in Japan, the profit from the sale of finished raw materials reaches several million dollars annually.

Description and photo of multicolored trametess

Many believe that the multi-colored tinder fungus is not a mushroom, but a kind of polyp that appears on old trees and rotting stumps. But this is not the case. This is a full-fledged mushroom that has a pulp, a stem, a cap, and most importantly, a spore powder that is reliably hidden.

Let's find out how to distinguish the multi-colored tinder fungus from other similar mushrooms.

Common names: Trametez multicolored, Tinder fungus or Trameta. From Latin - Trametes versicolor.

Hat

The first thing that catches your eye when you find a Trudovik is, of course, his hat. By the way, it occupies about 80% of the entire fruiting body. The hat is perennial, and its shape has an unfinished semicircle. Less commonly, it can be fan-shaped. So, sometimes you can find a rosette shape.

The width of the cap varies with age. The older the mushroom, the wider its cap. Most often it reaches a diameter of 5 to 10 cm.The hat is not flat, its width is also significant and can reach up to 5 cm.The mushroom belongs to the subspecies of sessile, and does not grow from the ground, but prefers to settle on the surface of a tree, the lateral part of the cap grows to him.

If you look at this mushroom from above, you can see that it is covered with very thin lines that have different shades. At the same time, smooth areas alternate with fleecy. The edges of the cap are often light, which means they have less nutrients. Over time, they start to break down.

As you already understood, the main feature of this mushroom is its multi-color. If you look closely, you can see shades of silver, blue, black, white, yellow and red on some mushrooms. Most often, the surface of the cap is shiny, but not wet. Rather, it can be described as silky.

The base of the cap is most often somewhat narrowed, and the closer it comes to the stem, the more green it has.

Leg

The leg of these mushrooms is rather thin, short and barely noticeable. Most often, it does not exceed 2 cm in length. The leg is necessary so that the mushroom is firmly attached to a stump or tree, and does not fall even under the influence of external factors.

The leg, depending on its age, can have shades from green to brown. The leg of young mushrooms is green, however, the older, the darker its leg becomes.

Pulp

The flesh of this tinder fungus is surprisingly light, despite the fact that the cap has almost all shades of the rainbow. However, the flesh is somewhat thin and can also be described as leathery. When interacting with air, it acquires a brown tint.The smell of the pulp is quite pleasant, the spore powder also has a white tint. If you look under the hat, you can see many tubular formations where spores are stored.

If the fruit body is already ripe enough, then it begins to acquire a brownish tint. The tubes become thinner and stick together.

Habitat

If you are not scared away by the appearance of this forest dweller, then we suggest you move into the wild and find out where he still chooses a place for his growth.

Let's talk about time first. The most active growth of this forest dweller occurs just in the second half of June, when the air temperature rises to a high positive mark. Active growth continues until the end of October, after which it slows down sharply and completely disappears.

Look for mushrooms directly on old wood. These can be old sleepers, rotten tree stumps, old deciduous trees that have practically lost their crown. As a rule, mushrooms grow in the northern part, as they do not like direct sunlight.

Sometimes tinder fungus can also be found on the remains of burned or dead trees that belong to conifers. Mushrooms do not grow singly, they can most often be found in small groups. Be sure that if you can find several tinder fungi on the same tree, this means that their brothers have also settled very close.

As for reproduction, it also begins from the end of July to August, occurs very quickly, and very often provokes not only the growth of new fungi, but also heart rot.

Preparations based on multi-colored tramestones

Where and how it grows

Trametes Troga prefers to settle on hardwoods - both soft and hard: birch, ash, mulberry, willow, poplar, walnut, beech, aspen. It is very rare to see it on the pines. The fungus in this species is perennial, fruiting bodies appear annually in the same places.

The mycelium begins to actively bear fruit from mid-late summer to a stable snow cover. They grow singly and in large colonies, located in the form of tiles and side by side, often you can find ribbons fused with the sidewalls of these fruit chalk.

Prefers sunny, dry, wind-protected places.It is ubiquitous in the northern and temperate latitudes - in deciduous forests and taiga zones of Russia, in Canada and the USA. It can sometimes be found in Europe, as well as in Africa and South America.

This species destroys host trees, causing rapidly spreading white rot.
