Phellinus gilvus is a fungal plant pathogen which infects several hosts.[1] In traditional Chinese medicine, it is known as sanghuang and is used to treat stomachaches and cancer; polysaccharides isolated from lab-grown P. gilvus have been shown to inhibit the growth of melanoma in a mouse model.[2][3]
