Medicinal value and taxonomy of the Tinder Polypore, Fomes fomentarius (Agaricomycetes)

Gáper, Ján Medicinal value and taxonomy of the Tinder Polypore, Fomes fomentarius (Agaricomycetes) : a review / Ján Gáper ... [et al.]. -- The tinder polypore, Fomes fontentarius, is a wood-decaying macrofungus well known for its potential use in a wide range of biotechnological applications. The existence of 3 distinct internal transcribed spacer lineages/sublineages among its strains has been clearly established. Sublineage A1 consists of strains isolated from North America, whereas sublineage A2 consists of strains only from Europe. Lineage B comprises strains from Europe and Asia. A better understanding of the biological features of F. fomentaritts lineages/sublineages could lead to improved characterization, leading to better biotechnological applications. The medicinal value of F.fomentarius is discussed.
