Fungal Species:  Cantharellus tubaeformis

Antibacterial and Antifungal Activity and Acute Toxicity of Crude Extracts From the Wild Edible Mushrooms Cantharellus veraecrucis, Cantharellus violaceovinosus, and Turbinellus floccosus

Researchers tested extracts from three wild edible mushroom species found in Mexican forests for their ability to fight harmful bacteria and fungi. The extracts showed promise against disease-causing microorganisms, with one species particularly effective against agricultural plant pathogens. While the extracts showed moderate toxicity at high doses, the results suggest these mushrooms could be developed into natural pesticides or medicines.

Effect of drying, blanching, pickling and maceration on the fate of 40K, total K and 137Cs in bolete mushrooms and dietary intake

mycolabadmin

This study examined how different cooking methods affect radioactive caesium and potassium levels in wild bolete mushrooms collected from the Baltic Sea coast. The researchers found that blanching alone removes only about 15% of radioactive caesium, while blanching followed by pickling in vinegar removes about 55%. Despite the contamination concerns, a typical 100-gram serving of processed mushrooms provides only low levels of radiation exposure while still delivering about 7% of the daily recommended potassium intake.

Toxic Elements and Bio-metals in Cantharellus Mushrooms from Poland and China

mycolabadmin

This research examined the mineral content of wild mushrooms collected from Poland and China, specifically looking at various trace elements and heavy metals. The study helps us understand how mushrooms absorb minerals from their environment and what this means for food safety. Impacts on everyday life: – Helps ensure safety of wild-foraged mushrooms as food – Provides insight into environmental pollution monitoring through mushroom analysis – Contributes to understanding nutritional value of wild mushrooms – Aids in identifying safer foraging locations based on soil composition – Helps inform dietary guidelines for mushroom consumption
