Researchers developed a quick, damage-free method to measure the health-promoting polysaccharide content in Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms using special imaging technology that analyzes light reflection. This technology combines visible and near-infrared light imaging with computer learning to predict polysaccharide levels across the entire mushroom cap. The method achieved 92.4% accuracy and could help mushroom farmers determine the best time to harvest for maximum nutritional value.

Different Symbiotic Species of Armillaria Affect the Yield and Active Compound Contents of Polyporus umbellatus

Polyporus umbellatus is a medicinal mushroom used in traditional Chinese medicine for treating water retention and swelling. This study found that the type of symbiotic fungus (Armillaria species) growing with the mushroom significantly affects both how much mushroom is produced and the amounts of beneficial compounds it contains. Among three Armillaria species tested, A. gallica produced mushrooms with the highest yields and the most polysaccharides, making it the best choice for cultivation.
