Black ear mushrooms (Auricularia cornea) are nutritious and medicinal fungi that can be grown on waste materials from wood industries. Researchers tested different combinations of sawdust and bran to find the best growing mixture. They used artificial intelligence to predict which combinations would give the best yields, finding that a mix of 70% beech sawdust with 30% wheat bran worked best and could be produced efficiently.

Researchers studied the pigments that give mushrooms their colors, specifically looking at red and yellow varieties of wine cap mushrooms. They found that these colors come from melanin, the same pigment found in human skin. The study revealed that the red variety has more of certain melanin types than the yellow variety, which explains why they look different. These pigments could have health benefits because melanins are known to have antioxidant and anti-tumor properties.

The First Report on Agarwood Formation of Aquilaria sinensis (Lour.) Spreng Induced by Fusarium equiseti

mycolabadmin

Researchers successfully induced agarwood (a valuable medicinal resin) formation in Chinese agar trees using a fungus called Fusarium equiseti. Through careful analysis, they found the fungus triggered production of beneficial compounds like agarotetrol and aromatic sesquiterpenes within 12 months, matching quality standards for medicinal use. This breakthrough offers a sustainable alternative to harvesting rare wild agarwood, potentially helping both human health and forest conservation.
