Conclusions and outlook
The F. betulina fungus has been widely used and appreciated in folk medicine, and modern pharmacological studies have confirmed its potential indicating significant antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective activities. The possibility of successful cultivation thereof in artificial conditions additionally promotes the applicability of the fungus. However, compared with other polypore fungi, the research on F. betulina is less developed; for instance, little is known about its lifestyle, including the wood degradation strategy. Moreover, most of the bioactivity studies have been performed using crude extracts; hence, only a few of the effects have been associated with the active substances identified, e.g. antibacterial activities with piptamine or polyporenic acids. With a few exceptions, we still do not know the mechanisms underlying the biological activities. Verification of biological activities in in vivo and clinical studies is also required. The further research could contribute to better exploitation of the F. betulina application potential.

Dieser wächst ganz seltsam aus einem Stumpf, von welchem nicht mehr viel übrig ist. 
Riesiges Exemplar. Mit etwas Apfelmost verdünnt schmeckts echt prima!syzygy hat geschrieben:Der Birkenporlingtee schmeckt gut nach Galle, erinnert mich spontan an das Taumkraut Calea. Birkenporling ist dann aber doch geniessbarer.
