Fungal Species:  Phallus echinovolvatus

High Efficiency In Vitro Wound Healing of Dictyophora indusiata Extracts via Anti-Inflammatory and Collagen Stimulating (MMP-2 Inhibition) Mechanisms

This study examines bamboo mushroom extracts for their ability to promote skin wound healing. Researchers tested three different parts of immature bamboo mushrooms and found that the core extract was particularly effective at reducing inflammation and preventing excessive collagen breakdown, which helps wounds heal properly without excessive scarring. The extract performed as well as or better than standard pharmaceutical agents, suggesting it could be a promising natural ingredient for wound healing products.

Phallus chiangmaiensis sp. nov. and a Record of P. merulinus in Thailand

This research describes a newly discovered mushroom species from Thailand and confirms the presence of a rare mushroom species not seen in the country for nearly a century. The study used both physical characteristics and DNA analysis to identify and classify these fungi. The findings contribute to our understanding of fungal diversity in Southeast Asia. Impacts on everyday life: – Helps scientists track and preserve fungal biodiversity – Contributes to the documentation of Thailand’s natural heritage – Advances our understanding of mushroom evolution and relationships – Provides reference material for future mushroom identification – May lead to discovery of new useful compounds or applications
