Fomitopsis betulina
Champignon en forme d'étagère sur les bouleaux dont l'utilisation est attestée depuis 5300 ans avec Otzi l'Homme des glaces comme herbe antimicrobienne et cicatrisante.
Birch Polypore (Fomitopsis betulina) is a bracket fungus that grows on birch trees, historically used for wound healing and antimicrobial purposes, as evidenced by its presence in Ötzi the Iceman's kit. Modern research supports its antimicrobial, antiparasitic, and immunomodulatory properties, attributed to active compounds such as piptamine, agaric acid, polyporenic acids, and betulinic acid. It is considered an adaptogen and is used for immune support, though clinical evidence remains limited (Level C).
The antimicrobial action of Birch Polypore is primarily due to piptamine and agaric acid, which disrupt bacterial cell membranes and inhibit fungal cell wall synthesis. Betulinic acid and triterpenoids modulate immune function by enhancing macrophage activity and cytokine production, while also exhibiting anti-inflammatory effects via inhibition of COX-2 and LOX pathways. Additionally, polyporenic acids may contribute to antiparasitic activity by interfering with protozoal metabolism, and the overall adaptogenic profile is thought to involve modulation of the HPA axis and stress response.
