The presence of Agarikon at burial sites may indicate that its use was once widespread.

Agarikon extracts have demonstrated antiviral activity against a range of viruses in vitro.

It is commonly known as agarikon, as well as the quinine conk due to its extremely bitter taste.

Mycologist Paul Stamets has performed numerous investigations of the biological activities of Agarikon.

Wild Agarikon is only found in old-growth forests, and grows on conifers, particularly Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga) and larch (Larix).
