Other Forms of Yun Zhi

Yun Zhi

Yun Zhi (Coriolus versicolor) is found throughout the wooded temperate zones of North America, Asia, and Europe. The mushroom is commonly known as 'turkey tail' in the United States. The mushroom is woody, shelflike body forms on stumps, tree trunks, and fallen trees. The cap varies from gray to brown with distinct band patterns of alternating light and dark color. Yun Zhi, the Chinese name for the mushroom, is harvested and dried - then used in either teas or supplements. Mushrooms are a great source of polysaccharides. The extracts of Yun Zhi, or the Cloud Mushroom, have been used to dispel dampness, reduce phlegm, treat pulmonary infections, to strengthen the tendons and bones, for vital energy, and to support liver health.
