Product Description
Shelves of banded brackets on mossy wood are the fruiting body behind this Trametes versicolor powder. The release is polysaccharides at about 10–50% and triterpenes at about 0.5–3%. A beta-glucan result is not on this specification, and 100% beta-glucan is not a real release value.
The powder is light brown, about 80 mesh, and disperses in water. PSK and PSP are still other products. Use the two ranges as written, ask for a method on each, and add the mesh only if the process needs 80 mesh.

Applications
Triterpene Line
Triterpenes at about 0.5–3% are a second marker. They are not included in the polysaccharide result.
Blends
Blends name Trametes versicolor and the marker that was actually bought.
Dispersible Drinks
Drinks disperse the light-brown 80-mesh powder. The colour still shows.
Not PSK
PSK and PSP are specific extracts. This grade supplies the polysaccharide and triterpene ranges above, not those named preparations.
FAQ
Is there a 100% beta-glucan grade?
No. Ignore that figure. This specification is polysaccharides about 10–50% and triterpenes about 0.5–3%.
Are triterpenes included in the polysaccharide test?
No. They are a separate assay.
What mesh is the powder?
About 80 mesh.
Which part and species?
Fruiting body of Trametes versicolor.
Can this replace PSK?
No. PSK is a defined extract, not a polysaccharide range.
