The mushroom of tiger milk or rhinocero head
The mushroom Sclerotium lignosus rhinocerus, more commonly known as "rhinoceros head", is a rare type of medicinal mushroom appreciated for its therapeutic properties, especially in Asia. This fungus is particularly recognized in traditional Chinese and Malaysian medicine for its health benefits.
Characteristics of the Sclerotium lignosus rhinocerus
- Appearance: This mushroom develops a sclerot (a hard mass of mycelium), which resembles a horn or a head of rhinoceros, from which its name. It does not form a typical mushroom with a hat and a foot, but rather a compact and dense mass.
- Habitat: It usually grows in combination with certain species of trees in tropical forests, where it forms symbiosis with the roots of trees.
Medicinal uses and benefits
The "rhinoceros head" is particularly valued for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Here are some traditional and modern uses:
-
Anti-inflammatory: It is often used to treat inflammatory conditions such as arthritis by reducing inflammation and pain.
-
Antioxidant: Like many medicinal fungi, it contains antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals in the body, potentially reducing the risk of certain chronic diseases.
-
Immunity: It is renowned for its immunomodulatory properties, supporting and regulating the immune system.
-
Anti-tumoral: Although research is still limited and mainly preclinical, some studies suggest that compounds found in this fungus could have anticancer properties.
Research and studies
Scientific research on Sclerotium lignosus rhinocerus are still at a preliminary stage, but several studies have explored its bioactive properties and therapeutic potential. However, more clinical research is needed to confirm these effects in humans.
Because of its rarity and growing interest in its medicinal properties, this fungus is being studied for its controlled culture, which could help make its benefits more accessible in the future.
By language error, many confuse the TIGRE LAIT fungus with the RHINOCÉROS TEST mushroom.
You must always consult the ingredients, and check the scientific name so you don't mistake.
What is the difference between the TIGRE LAIT fungus and RHINOCÉROS
The Sclerotium lignosus rhinocerus (rhinoceros header) and the Lentinus tigrinus (Tiger of milk) are two types of mushrooms, but they differ significantly in terms of biological classification as well as in terms of use and properties.
Classification and appearance
-
Sclerotium lignosus rhinocerus:
- It belongs mainly to a category of mushrooms that develop sclerots, which are hard and compact structures that accumulate nutrient reserves.
- Do not develop typical fruity bodies like other mushrooms; its structure looks like a horn or head, hence its name.
- Mainly known for its medicinal properties rather than for its culinary consumption.
-
Lentinus tigrinus:
- It belongs to the family of Polyporaceae, which includes fungi producers of pores rather than lamelles.
- Develops a typical fruit body with a hat and potentially a foot, and is recognizable on its tigre surface.
- Used both for its culinary and medicinal properties, appreciated for its texture and its ability to absorb flavors.
Uses and properties
-
Sclerotium lignosus rhinocerus:
- Used mainly for its medicinal benefits in traditional medicine, especially for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
- Searches for its potential anticancer effects and immunomodulators.
-
Lentinus tigrinus:
- Consumptioned for its culinary value, especially in Asia, where it is appreciated for its firm texture and its umami taste.
- Its medicinal properties are not as widely recognized or studied as those of the Sclerotium lignosus rhinocerus.
In summary, while the Sclerotium lignosus rhinocerus is especially valued for its medicinal properties and is rarely used in the kitchen, the Lentinus tigrinus is an edible mushroom appreciated for its gastronomic qualities, with secondary medicinal uses. These differences reflect their various applications and their interest in scientific and gastronomic communities.
