Fungal Species: Porodaedalea chrysoloma

Bioactive Properties of Selected European Phellinus Species: A Comprehensive Study

This research examined 30 samples of medicinal mushrooms from the Phellinus genus collected across Europe, including Poland, Italy, Portugal, Kosovo, and North Macedonia. Scientists found that three species—Phellinus igniarius, Fomitiporia robusta, and Porodaedalea pini—are particularly rich in beneficial compounds, especially polysaccharides and antioxidants. These mushroom extracts showed impressive abilities to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria and protect cells from oxidative damage, suggesting they could become valuable sources for new medicines and functional foods.

Corrigendum: Compounds purified from edible fungi fight against chronic inflammation through oxidative stress regulation

This article is a correction to a previous study about beneficial compounds found in edible mushrooms. The study examined how various mushroom-derived substances like polysaccharides and peptides can combat chronic inflammation by reducing oxidative stress in the body. Multiple mushroom species were analyzed for their antioxidant properties and mechanisms of action. The corrections ensure proper citation of the original research sources while maintaining the core scientific findings.

High-quality genome assembly and annotation of Porodaedalea mongolica and Porodaedalea schrenkiana provide insights into potential industrial and medical application

Scientists sequenced the genomes of two medicinal wood-decay fungi species (Porodaedalea mongolica and P. schrenkiana) for the first time using advanced sequencing technology. These fungi produce beneficial compounds with anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties, and can degrade environmental pollutants. The detailed genetic information revealed how these fungi break down wood and create bioactive compounds, opening new possibilities for medical treatments and industrial applications like environmental cleanup.
