What is Polyporus Umbellatus?

Polyporus umbellatus is the sclerotia of Polyporus umbellatus (Pers.) Fries, a fungus of the family Polyporus umbellatus. Contains polyporus, which is similar to Poria, α-hydroxy-tetracosanoic acid (α-hydroxy-tetracosanoic acid), ergosterol, biotin, etc.

Polyporus umbellatus extract is a rare, edible species of mushroom, found growing on roots of old beeches or oak. It isalso called Lumpy Bracket and Umbrella Polypore.A close relative of Grifola frondosa (Maitake), P. umbellatus differs from most medicinal mushrooms in that traditionally it has been harvested as a hyphal mass, or sclerotium, which only forms when P. umbellatus is symbiotically associated with Armillaria species.

It is a "butt rot" that fruits terrestrially, near the bases and roots of hardwoods across northern North America. It is apparently fairly rare on our continent, and is encountered far less frequently than the somewhat similar Grifola frondosa. The fruiting body consists of many small, smoky brown, roundish caps (as opposed to the larger, fan-shaped and irregular caps of Grifola frondosa); the undersurfaces are white; and the individual branches are discrete immediately below the caps but become fused together into one solid structure below.

Polyporus umbellatus for common fungi medicinal materials in china, has a history of more than 2000 years of medicinal enjoys a high reputation both at home and abroad.

It is sometimes called "Grifola umbellata" in older field guides--and it may soon be headed for a new genus (perhaps "Dendropolyporus"), once the DNA-informed taxonomy of the genus Polyporus gets better settled. Additional uncertainty is raised by Xing and collaborators (2013), who report substantial genetic variation among Chinese populations of Polyporus umbellatus; there may be several, or many, species involved.
