Black Hoof Mushroom
(Phellinus linteus)

Main benefit:
Immunity. Inflammation. Detox. Resilience. Recovery.

 

Origin and Source:
Grown on mulberry trees across East Asia and long honored in Korean, Chinese, and Japanese medicine, Phellinus linteus — also known as Black Hoof Mushroom — is a medicinal fungus revered for its powerful role in immune modulation and cancer-related research. At NØØT, we use concentrated, cell-wall-broken extract for maximum bioavailability and immune activation.

 

NØØT Classification:

Black Hoof Mushroom is an Immuno-Regenerative Phytogen and Fungal Defense Agent, used to support the immune system, inflammatory response, and cellular defense. Though outside the classic adaptogen/nootropic categories, it earns its place in the NØØT system for its deep impact on resilience, detox, and tumor surveillance.

 

Key Benefits and Science

Cancer Research & Immune Activation

• Extensively studied in Asia for its role in enhancing immune cell activity — including macrophages and natural killer (NK) cells.
  
• Frequently included in adjunct protocols for tumor resilience, immune recovery, and post-chemo support.

Anti-Inflammatory Power

• Contains unique polysaccharides and proteoglycans that regulate the body’s inflammatory response.
  
• Commonly used for systemic inflammation, especially in chronic or autoimmune contexts.

Liver & Detox Support

• Promotes liver regeneration and phase II detox enzymes — essential for hormonal balance, skin health, and environmental toxin clearance.
  
• Often used to support individuals exposed to high oxidative stress or pollution.

Long COVID & Immune Recovery

• Studied in relation to chronic immune dysregulation — especially in the context of viral aftermath and long COVID fatigue.
  
• Supports immune balance without overstimulation, making it ideal for gentle re-regulation.

 

Why It’s Good for You

Black Hoof Mushroom is deep cellular defense — quiet, potent, and smart. Whether you're navigating immune burnout, inflammation, or long-term recovery, this mushroom works behind the scenes to restore equilibrium, detox pathways, and innate strength.

 

Usage

Use Black Hoof Mushroom consistently during times of immune challenge, detox, or chronic inflammation. At NØØT, we recommend cycling it with other fungal allies for optimal immune rhythm.
