Phellinus linteus, more commonly known as Meshimakobu, Meshima, Song gen, Sanghuang has been used as a medicinal mushroom.   Laboratory studies have proved that this mushroom can help relieve inflammation and potentially fight a variety of cancers like prostate cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, oral cancer, and skin cancer.  But clinical trials are needed to confirm its efficacy against these malignancies.https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/integrative-medicine/herbs/phellinus-linteus
