Researchers in Algeria discovered Lepista sordida, an edible purple mushroom, for the first time in western Algerian forests. They identified the species using DNA analysis and studied how to grow it in laboratories by testing different temperature, humidity, and pH levels. The mushroom is highly nutritious, containing significant amounts of protein and carbohydrates, making it valuable for improving local diets and addressing nutritional deficiencies.

After a major catastrophe that blocks sunlight and prevents crop growth, people could potentially survive by converting inedible plant material like leaves, grass, and wood into food. However, this biomass alone cannot provide all necessary nutrients—it has plenty of carbohydrates but lacks protein and fat. Combining biomass with edible insects and supplements could create a balanced diet to sustain families for extended periods.
