Chemical Composition, Bioactive Compounds, and Antioxidant Activity of Two Wild Edible Mushrooms Armillaria mellea and Macrolepiota procera from Two Countries (Morocco and Portugal)

mycolabadmin

This study compared two edible wild mushrooms (honey fungus and parasol mushroom) from Morocco and Portugal to understand their health benefits. Both mushrooms were found to be rich in compounds with antioxidant properties that help protect cells from damage. The research shows that where mushrooms grow—whether in Morocco or Portugal—affects their chemical makeup and healing potential, with Moroccan honey fungus showing particularly strong antioxidant power.

Ganoderma lucidum inspired silver nanoparticles and its biomedical applications with special reference to drug resistant Escherichia coli isolates from CAUTI

mycolabadmin

Researchers created tiny silver particles using a medicinal mushroom called Ganoderma lucidum to fight dangerous bacteria that resist antibiotics and are associated with urinary catheter infections. These nanoparticles were found to effectively kill drug-resistant bacteria, work as antioxidants better than a common antioxidant standard, and showed promise in killing breast cancer cells. This eco-friendly approach offers a natural alternative to conventional antibiotics for treating serious antibiotic-resistant infections.

Cell Wall-Mediated Antifungal Activity of the Aqueous Extract of Hedera helix L. Leaves Against Diplodia corticola

mycolabadmin

Scientists discovered that extract from ivy leaves can effectively kill a fungus called Diplodia corticola that damages cork oak trees. The extract works by damaging the fungus’s protective cell wall rather than interfering with its internal chemistry. This natural alternative to chemical fungicides could help protect cork production worldwide while being safer for human health and the environment.

Use of Pleurotus ostreatus to Enhance the Oxidative Stability of Pork Patties during Storage and In Vitro Gastrointestinal Digestion

Oyster mushrooms can be added to pork patties to keep them fresh longer by preventing fat and protein damage during storage. The mushroom powder works similarly to synthetic antioxidants but is completely natural. When eaten, the beneficial compounds from the mushroom survive digestion and may provide health benefits to consumers.
