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.
