Mushrooms-Rich Preparations on Wound Healing: From Nutritional to Medicinal Attributes

mycolabadmin

Mushrooms are nutritious foods that contain beneficial compounds like β-glucans and polysaccharides which can help wounds heal faster. These compounds work by activating immune cells and promoting collagen production, which are essential for skin repair. Research shows that mushroom extracts from species like Ganoderma lucidum and Hericium erinaceus can accelerate wound closure in experimental models and may benefit diabetic wound care and burn treatment.

Analysis of Gene Regulatory Network and Transcription Factors in Different Tissues of the Stropharia rugosoannulata Fruiting Body

mycolabadmin

Researchers analyzed the gene activity patterns across different parts of wine cap mushrooms (Stropharia rugosoannulata) to understand how the fruiting body develops. By examining gene expression in six different tissue types, they identified which genes are active in each tissue and what biological processes they control. This foundational knowledge can help improve mushroom cultivation techniques and production efficiency.

Diversity of macrofungi in southeast Xizang 1. The wood-decay fungi

mycolabadmin

Researchers surveyed wood-decay fungi in the forests of southeast Xizang and identified 558 different species, including one newly described species. This more than doubled the number of such fungi previously known from the region. Most species preferred either hardwood or softwood trees, and the fungi were classified as causing either white rot or brown rot. This study helps us understand the important decomposers that break down dead wood in China’s most biodiverse forest region.

Chromosome-Scale Genome and Transcriptomic Analyses Reveal Differential Regulation of Terpenoid Secondary Metabolites in Hericium coralloides

mycolabadmin

Researchers sequenced the complete genome of Hericium coralloides, an edible medicinal mushroom, at the chromosome level for the first time. They identified genes responsible for producing terpenoids, which are beneficial compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor properties. The study found that these beneficial compounds are produced in higher amounts in the mushroom’s mycelium (root-like structure) compared to fruiting bodies, which could help optimize mushroom cultivation for medicinal use.

Research Progress on the Mechanisms of Polysaccharides against Gastric Cancer

mycolabadmin

This review explores how natural polysaccharides from mushrooms, seaweed, plants, and traditional herbs can fight gastric cancer. These compounds work by triggering cancer cell death, stopping tumor growth, and boosting the body’s immune system. Unlike conventional chemotherapy drugs that cause serious side effects, these natural polysaccharides offer a safer alternative that can work alongside existing treatments to improve patient survival.

Impact of Phellinus gilvus mycelia on growth, immunity and fecal microbiota in weaned piglets

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested whether a medicinal mushroom called Phellinus gilvus could replace antibiotics in pig feed as a growth promoter. Over 28 days, piglets fed mushroom-supplemented diets grew as well as those given antibiotics while showing even better immune system activation. Unlike antibiotics that drastically changed the gut bacteria composition, the mushroom only slightly modified it while still reducing harmful E. coli bacteria. This suggests the mushroom could be a safer alternative to antibiotics in pig farming.

Molecular Identification of Two Strains of Phellinus sp. by Internal Transcribed Spacer Sequence Analysis

mycolabadmin

This research focused on accurately identifying two strains of medicinal mushrooms commonly used in Korean traditional medicine. Using DNA analysis techniques, researchers confirmed these mushrooms as Phellinus baumii, a species known for various health benefits. This identification is crucial for ensuring the safe and effective use of these mushrooms in medical treatments. Impacts on everyday life: • Helps ensure consumers are getting genuine medicinal mushrooms when purchasing supplements • Enables more reliable quality control in traditional medicine markets • Supports the development of new therapeutic treatments using these mushrooms • Contributes to safer use of natural medicine products • Assists in standardizing traditional medicine practices

Nutritional Value and Antioxidant, Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Activity of Wild Macrofungi

mycolabadmin

This research examined nine wild mushroom species from Colombia to understand their nutritional value and potential health benefits. The study found these mushrooms to be excellent sources of protein and fiber while being low in fat, making them potentially valuable food sources. The mushrooms also showed promising abilities to fight harmful bacteria and fungi, while acting as antioxidants. Impact on everyday life: • Could provide new natural food sources high in protein and fiber • May lead to new natural antimicrobial treatments for infections • Could be developed into natural food preservatives • Offers potential new ingredients for health supplements and functional foods • Provides scientific support for traditional mushroom-based medicines
