The Lignosus rhinocerotis (Cooke) Ryvarden, commonly known as Tiger Milk Mushroom, is an edible type of mushroom. It is high in nutritional and medicinal value and is used as a health tonic in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, China and the Philippines.

Tiger Milk Mushroom comes from the same fungi family as the lingzhi and is highly sought after for its health benefits and medicinal properties by both the aboriginal and urban populations. 

In fact, in the 1950s and 60s, it was not uncommon for Chinese families to keep some Tiger Milk Mushroom in their homes as a go-to medicine for cough, cold and asthma. The Malays also use it as a natural remedy for various ailments such as breast, liver and lung cancer.
