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.

A high-quality genome assembly of angel-wing mushroom Pleurocybella porrigens that causes acute encephalopathy

mycolabadmin

Scientists created a detailed genetic blueprint of the angel-wing mushroom, which caused serious poisonings in Japan. They identified three toxic compounds in the mushroom and found a gene that likely produces one of the most dangerous toxins responsible for brain damage. This research helps explain how the mushroom makes its poison and could lead to better understanding of foodborne illness prevention.

Soil Fungal Diversity and Community Structure of Russula griseocarnosa from Different Sites

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied the soil fungi living around Russula griseocarnosa, a valuable wild edible mushroom that cannot be grown in farms. They found that the soil around this mushroom contains specific beneficial fungi like Penicillium and Trichoderma that help it grow, and that these fungal communities differ depending on geographical location. The study shows that using fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and beneficial fungi could help protect and increase the production of this wild mushroom.
