The Natural Phellinus Mushroom Museum

Established on August 27, 2019, the Natural Phellinus Mushroom Museum was founded as a center for the collection, study, and research of the Phellinus genus, commonly known as Sang Hwang mushrooms. Phellinus is one of the largest polypore genera, with over 480 species found worldwide, many of which exhibit significant medicinal properties.

To date, the museum has collected more than 100 species of wild Sang Hwang mushrooms. These fungi are recognized for their potential in developing treatments for degenerative diseases, including cancer and autoimmune disorders.

The museum operates under the guidance of Dr. Usa Klinhom, esteemed experts in Sang Hwang mushrooms in Thailand. Using modern scientific methods, the species are identified and cataloged to create a comprehensive database. This collection serves as both an educational exhibit and a resource for public awareness, emphasizing the importance of these valuable mushrooms.

In collaboration with scholars worldwide, the museum actively conducts exploratory studies on various aspects of Sang Hwang mushrooms. Additionally, it provides materials to research institutions focused on the conservation of the Phellinus genus. Through academic partnerships, the museum aims to advance scientific knowledge and explore the practical applications of Sang Hwang mushrooms in medicine and other fields.
