Scientists have discovered new chemical compounds in the medicinal mushroom Laetiporus versisporus by studying its fungal threads (mycelia). Using advanced laboratory techniques, they identified nine different compounds, including seven that had never been found in this species before. This research helps us better understand the chemical makeup of medicinal mushrooms. Impacts on everyday life: • Contributes to the development of new natural medicines and supplements • Advances our knowledge of edible and medicinal mushrooms • Helps validate traditional uses of mushrooms in medicine • Could lead to new functional food products
