Fuscoporia gilva
Fuscoporia gilva, commonly known as the oak conk, is a species of fungal plant pathogen which infects several hosts. It produces a tough, corky mushroom when it fruits. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is used to treat stomachaches and cancer; polysaccharides isolated from lab-grown F. gilvus have been shown to inhibit the growth of melanoma in a mouse model.
