According to chemical analysis, the strain is rich in protein, fat, various essential amino acids and vitamins B1, B2, C and PP. Tricholoma matsutake has the medicinal effects of strengthening the body, benefiting the stomach, relieving pain, regulating qi and resolving phlegm. The inhibition rate of hot water extract from fruiting body on sarcoma 180 in mice was 91.8%, and that on Ehrlich cancer was 70%. This fungus is also an ectomycorrhizal fungus of trees.
