Together with lesklokorkou and caterpillar, it is one of the most popular medicinal sponges . In nature it is rare and it is difficult to cultivate.

The Medline database today (March 2009) has registered 82 scientific papers on the Fenugreek. The only up-to-date publication is Zhu2008mmp from Harvard Medical School, the abstract of which summarizes P. linteus's action as follows (rewritten):

Firebird has a ten-year tradition in the treatment of diseases such as digestive disorders , diarrhea, bleeding and cancer. In an effort to translate traditional knowledge about this fungus into Western science standards, researchers have demonstrated immunomodulatory (stimulatory and suppressive) and anti-tumor effects . It induces apoptosis in many cancers without damaging normal tissues. Studies on antitumor activity and synergy with conventional cytotoxic drugs have consistently confirmed its traditional status of anticancer agent.

In Taiwan, this mushroom is called san huan and is devoted to considerable attention. The Taiwanese study, Chuu2008mmp, confirms strong antioxidant activity , action against lung cancer and melanoma . Specifically, its effect on colon and rectal cancer cells ( Song2011ppp, etc.)
